A federal appeals court in Georgia will hear an expedited appeal of former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell’s request to gain a temporary restraining order forcing audits and a forensic examination of Dominion voting machines used by the state in the 2020 election.
Dominion is a voting-machine manufacturer, and its products have been alleged to be used as part of a widespread scheme to defraud President Trump of the 2020 election in several key battleground states, including Georgia.
Joe Biden won Georgia by more than 16,000 votes and claimed the state’s 16 electoral votes, which were essential to him claiming victory over Trump, according to the Associated Press.
Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, two major figures in the Trump campaign, said recently that Powell was no longer part of the team and is pursuing the lawsuit on her own terms.
“Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own,” said Giuliani and Ellis in a joint statement. “She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the president in his personal capacity.”
