On Dec. 23, 2020, Attorney Sidney Powell released a binder of information her legal team provided.
Sidney Powell's team put together a binder of election fraud claims and related materials that undergird their claims challenging the integrity of Joe Biden's victory.
The 270-page binder was provided by Powell's staff to Zenger News on Wednesday ahead of an interview in which Powell reaffirmed her allegations that White House officials were blocking her access to President Trump after the former federal prosecutor says she was verbally offered a role as special White House counsel to investigate fraud. Powell could be seen with at least part of the binder's contents during a recent visit to the White House.
No new evidence appears in the binder, but it does contain some of the materials Powell has cited as she asserted there was voter fraud and foreign interference in the 2020 election, allegations that have been roundly dismissed by the courts as well as federal and state officials who say they have not seen evidence of widespread fraud. Meanwhile, the electronic voting machine companies targeted by the allegations are gearing up for litigation.
In addition, the binder contains FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency alerts about Iranian hackers targeting election-related systems, the Homeland Security Department designation of election infrastructure as critical infrastructure, a version of White House trade adviser Peter Navarro's report on alleged voting irregularities, a report from an examination of Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Antrim County, Michigan, which has been rejected by state and company officials, and letters from Democratic lawmakers over the years raising concerns about electronic voting systems equipment.
More than seven weeks after Election Day, Trump refuses to concede the election to Biden. Rudy Giuliani, who leads Trump's legal team, has distanced his effort from Powell, but is similarly focusing their strategy on claiming that voting machines in several battleground states that Trump lost were used to flip votes to Biden. Both Giuliani and Powell have pushed for further access to voting machines to conduct audits.
"What are they all trying to hide? American elections are supposed to be easily auditable and transparent," Powell told the Washington Examiner last week. "That's why Federal law punishes the failure to keep all records for 22 months with up to one year in prison. This is important not only to the United States but to the world. There is no way of hiding this fraud and 'moving on' as if any election could ever be trusted again. Our entire government seems to have become a big lie and coverup. The American people are 100% fed up with it."
Trump also huddled last week with conservative lawmakers who are planning a long-shot bid to object when the House and Senate meet on Jan. 6 to certify the Electoral College results. "See you in Washington, DC, on January 6th. Don’t miss it. Information to follow!" Trump tweeted on Sunday.
Powell contends that documents in the binder prove direct foreign interference and fraud tainted the Nov. 3 presidential election, and that President Donald Trump was re-elected. The entire binder is reproduced here for exclusively.
