Sidney Powell cuts plea deal in Georgia election tampering case, will have to testify in future trials

Former Donald Trump lawyer Sidney Powell pleaded guilty Thursday in exchange for a reduced sentence in the sprawling Georgia election tampering case, one day before the start of jury selection in her trial.

Under the deal, Powell admitted to six misdemeanors accusing her of conspiring to intentionally interfere with the performance of election duties.

In exchange, she received six years probation, was fined $6,000, ordered to pen an apology letter to the people of Georgia, and must deliver testimony in future trials in the case — including potentially against the 77-year-old 45th president.
