Trump Lawyers Sidney Powell & Kenneth Chesebro Write One-Sentence Apology Letters After Guilty Pleas In Georgia Election Fraud Case

In October, former Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro both agreed to write apology letters after their guilty pleas in the Fulton County, Georgia, election fraud case, which indicted 19 people for trying to overturn the state’s 2020 presidential election results.

Their letters, which were acquired by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution via an open records request, were each one sentence long, seeming to mock prosecutors.

“I apologize for my actions in connection with the events in Coffee County,” Powell said in her letter written on October 19.

“I apologize to the citizens of the State of Georgia and of Fulton County for my involvement in Count 15 of the indictment,” Chesebro declared in his apology letter written on October 20.

The letters do not address the legitimacy of President Joe Biden winning Georgia’s 2020 election or condemn the unfounded conspiracy theories they promoted to claim that Trump had been fraudulently cheated out of victory.

Powell and Cheesboro are two out of 19 people, including the former president Donald Trump, accused of trying to overturn election results.

The apology letter written by Scott Hall, a bail bondsman who also pleaded guilty for his role in the plot seemed more sincere.

“To the Citizens of the State of Georgia: I owe you an apology,” he wrote. “I wish had never involved myself in the post-election activities that brought me before the court. I have never before been in trouble with the law and I meant no harm to anyone. I did what I did on my own. I was not acting on behalf of any organization or any other person or persons. I became involved when I observed what I thought were some irregularities which I reported to law enforcement authorities.

“I was concerned. I went to the State Farm Arena on election night, to the subsequent recounts as an observer and was ultimately invited to Coffee County,” he continued. “Although I certainly did not mean to violate any laws, I now realize that I did and have accepted responsibility for my actions. I offer my sincere apology to the Citizens of the State of Georgia. Sincerely, Scott Hall”

Fulton Couty District Attorney Fani Willis responded to the letters during a recent interview.

“If you do something wrong that impacts the community… then there needs to be real contrition,” she told AJC. “The contrition doesn’t have to be some poetic melody. It doesn’t have to be pages and pages,” Willis claimed. “Sometimes you just need ‘I’m sorry.’ And if you get ‘I’m sorry,’ then we can move on and move past [it] if it’s a sincere apology. It doesn’t need to be very long. In fact, all I would rather is a sentence. But I think it’s important.”

Trump, meanwhile, continues to make money off his supporters. He recently announced that he was selling a set of NFT trading cards with his face with each card costing $99. The purchase of at least 47 cards would grant buyers a chance to win a piece of the suit the former president wore while his mugshot was being taken.

Back in early November, Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis, who also pleaded guilty in the Georgia case, stated that Trump was a “malignant narcissist” whom she would not vote for in the future.
