A Texas appeals court has rejected attorney disciplinary charges against Sidney Powell, a former attorney for Donald Trump.Trump, Powell and 17 others were charged with election fraud for allegedly trying to manipulate the 2020 presidential election result in Georgia. Powell has taken a plea deal and may have to give evidence against the other defendants.The appellate court strongly rejected the Texas state bar's argument that Powell should be disciplined for her role in the election.
''We are troubled by the Bar's implicit suggestion that application of the ordinary meaning of the term dishonesty means the DR encompasses imprecise pleadings and carelessly filed exhibits.'As common sense dictates, and the case law illustrates, dishonesty involves something more than carelessness or inadvertent conduct.'Powell has had a difficult time since joining the Trump camp just after the 2020 election.
