Sidney Powell, former attorney for Donald Trump, pleaded guilty in the Georgia election interference case on Thursday. As part of the plea deal, she will serve six years of probation, pay a $6,000 fine and $2,700 in restitution, and submit an apology letter to the citizens of Georgia. Powell will also testify truthfully against her co-defendant, Kenneth Chesebro, who is still scheduled to stand trial on April 19. This marks the end of the legal saga surrounding Powell and her alleged involvement in the 2020 election.

A federal judge in Atlanta has denied a motion by former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark to move his case related to the 2020 presidential election from state court in Georgia to federal court. Clark is charged with two counts as part of a racketeering case stemming from an alleged effort to subvert the election results. The ruling is a setback for Clark and the other defendants, who had hoped to have their cases heard in federal court, and will mean that Clark will be prosecuted in state court in Fulton County. The ruling is part of a larger effort by the Georgia Attorney General’s office to investigate election fraud and other crimes related to the 2020 election.

Former President Donald Trump and two of his co-defendants have requested to have their cases separated from the indictment in Georgia over attempts to overturn the state's 2020 election results. Trump entered a plea of not guilty and waived his right to appear in court, while attorneys Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro filed motions to have their cases severed from the other defendants. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is currently in negotiations with the squadron of co-defendants, and the outcome of the requests for separation is yet to be seen.
