Trump ally scrawls THIRTEEN-WORD handwritten note saying sorry for her role in Georgia RICO case – while Kenneth Chesebro manages to fill just three lines
- Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro wrote letters as part of their plea deal when they pled guilty before a judge in Georgia as part of the election fraud case
- The letters were written in October, on the same day they entered their pleas – and the handwritten texts were only one sentence long
- Neither Powell nor Chesebro acknowledges the legitimacy of Biden’s win nor denounces the baseless conspiracy theories they pushed
Two of the attorneys who worked to try and help Donald Trump overturn the 2020 election and pleaded guilty in the Georgia case have written an apology as part of their plea deal – with the feeble letters only one sentence long.
Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro’s letters were obtained on Thursday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution through an open records request.
Neither letter acknowledges the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s win in Georgia’s 2020 election nor denounces the baseless conspiracy theories they pushed to claim Trump was cheated out of victory through fraud.
‘I apologize for my actions in connection with the events in Coffee County,’ Powell wrote in a letter dated October 19 – the same day she pleaded guilty to six misdemeanors accusing her of conspiring to intentionally interfere with the performance of election duties.
Chesebro wrote: ‘I apologize to the citizens of the state of Georgia and of Fulton County for my involvement in Count 15 of the indictment.’
He wrote the letter on October 20, when he appeared in court to plead guilty to one felony charge of conspiracy to commit filing false documents.
Sidney Powell’s one-sentence letter, written as part of her plea deal
A spokesperson for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who brought the election interference case, declined on Thursday to comment on the contents of the letters.
Powell and Chesebro were among four defendants to plead guilty in the case after reaching agreements with prosecutors.
They were indicted alongside Trump and others in August and charged with participating in a wide-ranging scheme to illegally keep the Republican in power.
The remaining 15 defendants – including Trump, lawyer Rudy Giuliani and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows – have all pleaded not guilty.
Each of the four who reached a deal with prosecutors received a sentence that included probation but no jail time. They were also allowed to plead guilty under Georgia’s first offender law, meaning that if they complete their probation without violating the terms or committing another crime, their records will be wiped clean.
The letters written by the other two defendants to plead guilty – Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis and bail bondsman Scott Hall – were longer and more specific.
