Donald Trump has claimed all along that the 2020 election was stolen. She was a promiser of a “Kraken” that was never delivered. CNN’s Zachary Cohen shared the news via social media that Powell is the biggest name to agree to a plea deal.
This pleading has no jail term as per the plea deal, but CNN’s Marshall Cohen reports that Powell needs to testify during future trials and even write an apology letter to the Georgian people. She was sentenced to six years probation, a $6,000 fine and $2,700 in restitution.
