Trump mocked Sidney Powell’s “crazy” story, Hope Hicks said

Donald Trump derided attorney Sidney Powell’s crazy story about a rigged presidential election as “crazy,” former Trump administration adviser Hope Hicks told a jury on Jan. 6, according to her report released Thursday.

In an infamous press conference shortly after the 2020 election with Trump adviser Rudy Giuliani, hair dye apparently dripping down his face, Powell baselessly insisted that voting machines had been corrupted by foreign influence. Powell said the car’s software was “created in Venezuela” under former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who died in 2013.

Trump, surrounded by allies, spoke by phone with Powell in the Oval Office the next day, Hicks told the committee.

“During the call, Powell repeated the same claims of foreign interference in the election that he made during the press conference. As he spoke, the president turned off the speaker and laughed at Powell, telling others in the room, “Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?” “Hicks testified, according to the committee’s report.

A month later, Trump announced in an Oval Office meeting that he was considering appointing Powell as special counsel to investigate alleged voter fraud, The New York Times reported. He also talked about getting a security clearance for Powell, who was at the meeting, sources told The Associated Press.

Dominion Voting Systems subsequently filed a massive lawsuit against Powell, Giuliani, Fox News, OAN and others, accusing them of outright lies about the company’s machines.

Neither Powell nor Trump could be reached for comment.
