President Donald Trump’s campaign distanced itself from lawyer Sidney Powell following a contentious back-and-forth with Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Did Carlson play a role in Powell’s apparent departure from the team?
The controversy began on Nov. 19, when Powell claimed that “communist money” sent through countries like “Venezuela, Cuba and possibly China” had been to help President-elect Joe Biden win the 2020 election via corrupted software. The Trump campaign, allies and the president himself have alleged massive voter fraud in the election.
Powell made other claims, including accusing two Republicans of being involved in a conspiracy regarding Georgia’s electronic voting system.
Carlson addressed the claims following Powell’s comments about the voting software, made during a press conference with Rudy Giuliani, on Nov. 19. Carlson said that Powell had been invited on the show and noted that “she never sent any evidence” backing up her claims. What’s more, according to Carlson, is that Powell allegedly did not provide evidence to those “around the Trump campaign,” either.
“We took Sidney Powell seriously,” Carlson said Nov. 19. “We had no intention of fighting with her … We simply wanted to see the details. How could you not want to see them? So we invited Sidney Powell on the show. We would have given her the whole hour. We would have given her the entire week, actually, and listened quietly the whole time at rapt attention.”
“But she never sent any evidence, despite a lot of requests – polite requests. Not a page,” he continued. “When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her. When we checked with others around the Trump campaign, people in positions of authority, they told us Powell has never given them any evidence either. Nor did she provide any today at the press conference.”
After Carlson’s public call-out, many people reacted. Right-wing commentator Mike Cernovich tweeted that he would “wait and see,” adding that “giving benefit of the doubt to Sidney Powell is hardly some deadly sin.” Newsmax host Greg Kelly also went after Carlson, tweeting that it isn’t up to him to “decide if and when this election is over.”
Powell, too, publicly responded to Carlson multiple times. First, she issued a statement saying that “a 5 minute television hit is not” her “focus now,” Washington Examiner reporter Anthony Leonardi tweeted.
Powell further addressed Carlson’s call-out on Nov. 20 during a Fox Business show hosted by Maria Bartiromo. Powell said she was not angry when Carlson contacted her for evidence and blamed his “rude” attitude for her eventual non-responses.
“No, I didn’t get angry with the request to provide evidence,” Powell said. “In fact, I sent an affidavit to Tucker that I had not even attached to a pleading yet to help him understand the situation and I offered him another witness who could explain the mathematics and the statistical evidence far better than I can.”
“But he was very insulting, demanding, and rude, and I told him not to contact me again, in those terms,” Powell added.
That evening, Carlson gave an update on Powell’s voter fraud investigation. He said the show had heard from both “people in the White House and people close to the president” regarding Powell’s allegations.
“Like us, they have not seen a single piece of evidence showing that software changed votes,” Carlson reiterated. “Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen – it might have happened. It means they haven’t seen any evidence that it happened. And by ‘they,’ we are including other members of Donald Trump’s own legal team.”
“They have not seen Powell’s evidence either – no testimony from employees inside the software companies, no damning internal documents, no copies of the software itself,” he added before addressing Powell’s comments earlier in the day that America “may not have to wait much longer” for proof.
Carlson called claim this “great news.”
“If Sidney Powell can prove that technology companies switched millions of votes and stole the presidential election, she will have almost single-handedly uncovered the greatest crime in the history of this country. And no one will be more grateful for that than I,” he concluded.
Following the two-day blow up and Powell doubling down on her Nov. 19 claims, the Trump campaign issued a statement on Sunday evening effectively distancing itself from her. The campaign said that Powell “is practicing law on her own” and “is not a member of the Trump Legal Team” or Trump’s personal lawyer – despite the president noting her as a part of the team on Nov. 14.
“I understand today’s press release,” Powell said in a statement to CBS News on Sunday. “I will continued to represent #WeThePeople who had their votes for Trump and other Republicans stolen by massive fraud through Dominion and Smartmatic, and we will be filing suit soon.”
The question remains: Did Carlson calling out Powell and asking for proof to back up her accusations lead to Trump’s campaign publicly declaring she is not involved in the team?
San Juan Capistrano.

Check the lawsuits to see who the plaintiffs are. The last I checked, Sidney's plaintiffs were specific electors.
You will discover in the following, the answer to your question re standing. Sidney Powell filed on behalf of clients (who are plaintiffs); notice in the links “king-v-whitmer” and “person-v-kemp” as examples.

Powell is filing on behalf of GA electors (by name) who are nominated by the Republican Party in GA.
Wood is filing on behalf of himself as a GA voter.
Yes.
The obsequious, two-faced little prick should be ignored. Carlson’s treachery is evident and final.
You ask for an explanation to something you already know the answer. Why do you do that? Rummy Cjick does it, too. Something it not wright here
It is important to note that while Powell’s lawsuit in GA includes Dominion, she includes all the other types of fraud in this election, including signature verification issues, Matt Braynard’s analysis of things such as people who moved and voted here, the overnight counting in Fulton county after GOP observers were sent home, the blocking of observers from being able to see anything and much more.
Even without dominion, Powell’s lawsuit has enough fraudulent numbers in GA to flip the state in Trumps favor, given a reasonable judge.
These are the Republican electors Powell represents:
CORECO JA’QAN PEARSON,
VIKKI TOWNSEND CONSIGLIO,
GLORIA KAY GODWIN,
JAMES KENNETH CARROLL,
CAROLYN HALL FISHER,
CATHLEEN ALSTON LATHAM,
and BRIAN JAY VAN GUNDY,
No, it was due to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo.
The scumedia has transmogrified from fourth estate (journalist doing real investigating) into the fifth column enemy among us. Tucker is part of the fifth column, lying out his ass, spewing disinformation and falsehoods right and left. He is not a fourth estate journalist, he’s thrown his soul to the scumedia enemy of we the people.
I wonde4r, Sidney is attacking the fraud in MI and GA, touting the Kraken weapon. WHEN the Kraken materials explode upon the public psyche, which lawsuit is going to rocket to the SCOTUS, the Rudy/Ellis/diGenova cases or the Sidney Powell proof of Chinese incursion via cia cooperation with the chicoms? By keeping the directions of attack separate, the counter attack crushes the vermin and exposes the treason.
When plaintiff seeks a remedy from the court, the court is not as prone to throw out the baby with the bathwater. A specific point in time is glaringly obvious to which the court can point and issue a remedy of disqualifying ALL ballots receive after that point in time due to their very high fraud potential thus not to be included with accountable licit ballots. When the command came from 'someone' to stop the counting, beyond that point is where the massive fraudulent dumps occurred.
Did you assist with the seditious fraud in Virginia?
Palm-er, think masturbation, is an Establishment hack sent in here to troll us into thinking the election was legitimate.
No........
So when can we expect to see it? The deadline to resolve disputes and certify all election results is in 8 days. The Electoral College casts their votes in 15 days. The senate counts their votes in 38 days. The inauguration is in 52 days.
Legality of accepting contributions for fighting the Fraud.
There is no divide between Sidney Powell and Lin Wood; and the POTUS.
Objective is the same. The press simply wants to create something that is not there. Like the Trolls on Twitter very early saying she got fired. The Left’s wishful thinking used as propaganda.
The truth is totally absent in the US MSM.
Oh, totally incredible Huge Legal dump. Thank you for posting the list. I’m not a lawyer, but this is amazing work.
