Several co-defendants of Donald Trump in the Georgia election crimes case, who entered into plea deals, submitted brief and somewhat curt letters of apology as part of their agreements. Notably, these letters vary in length and detail, with some being notably terse.
- Sidney Powell:
- Powell’s letter was the shortest and less explanatory: “I apologize for my actions in connection with the events in Coffee County.”
- Kenneth Chesebro:
- Chesebro’s apology was slightly more expansive but still concise: “I apologize to the citizens of the State of Georgia and of Fulton County for my involvement in Count 15 of the indictment.”
- Scott Hall:
- Hall’s letter, while more detailed, remained self-serving and expressed remorse: “To the Citizens of the State of Georgia: I owe you an apology. I wish I had never involved myself in the post-election activities that brought me before the court. I have never before been in trouble with the law and I meant no harm to anyone.” The letter goes on to describe his perception of irregularities, his actions as an observer during recounts, and his realization of violating laws, concluding with a sincere apology to the citizens of Georgia.
It’s worth noting that Jenna Ellis, another co-defendant, read her apology in court during her guilty plea in October. The varying tones and lengths of these apologies reflect the individual approaches of the co-defendants in conveying remorse and accepting responsibility for their actions in the post-election activities in Georgia.
