Sidney Powell, who served as an attorney for then-President Donald Trump in the weeks after the 2020 election, pleaded guilty Thursday to multiple criminal counts tied to the election.
Prosecutors recommended that Powell serve 12 months of probation for each count, totaling six years. Powell would also be fined $6,000 in addition to $2,700 in restitution. Powell is the first member of Trump's inner circle to plead guilty in the case. A bail bondsman charged in the case accepted a plea deal in September. In August, Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis decided to use a four-decade-old statute to pursue racketeering charges against former Trump and 18 others.
