Rudy Giuliani, personal lawyer to President Donald Trump, said Monday that he has distanced himself from former Michael Flynn lawyer Sidney Powell because the pair are “pursuing two different theories.”
“What is the reason for the split between Powell and Giuliani, at all?” Fox Business host Lou Dobbs asked the lawyer during a segment on Monday.
“I think it’s because we’re pursuing two different theories,” Giuliani answered. “Our theory of the case to get to the Supreme Court … is, basically, misconduct of the election by state officials in at least five or six different states, in which the misconduct of the election involved deprivation of Constitutional rights for the president.”
Giuliani argued that in Democratic parts of states, there was so-called “curing” of ballots allowed, but not in other parts of the same state. He also said that there were 680,000 “unexamined” ballots in Pennsylvania and noted that only in Michigan was there worse alleged misconduct.
Trump’s legal team distanced themselves from Powell via a statement released Sunday, The Daily Wire reported.
“Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own,” the statement said. “She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team. She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity.”
The statement was signed by Giuliani and Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis.
During a Thursday press conference, where Powell appeared alongside Giuliani and Ellis, the former Flynn attorney claimed that Dominion Voting Systems utilized software originally designed for Venezuelan socialist leader Hugo Chavez.
“What we are really dealing with here and uncovering more by the day is the massive influence of communist money through Venezuela,” Powell said at the presser, The Daily Wire reported. “Cuba and likely China in the interference with our elections here in the United States. … The Dominion Voting Systems, the Smartmatic technology software, and the software that goes in other computerized voting systems here as well, not just Dominion, were created in Venezuela at the direction of Hugo Chavez to make sure he never lost an election after one constitutional referendum came out the way he did not want it to come out.”
Dominion called Powell’s claims “absurdities” that were “deeply concerning,” Fox News reported: “The latest flood of absurdities is deeply concerning, not just for Dominion but also for our dedicated state and local partners and the electoral process on whole. Dominion is plainly a non-partisan American company with no ties to Venezuela or Cuba. Vote counts are conducted by county and state election officials, not by Dominion, or any other election technology company — our systems support tabulation by those officials alone.”
