Sidney Powell Claims Massive Election Fraud Is Provable at Trump Campaign Press Conference

On November 19, 2020, Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell held a press conference segment at RNC headquarters as part of the broader campaign legal strategy to overturn the election results. Powell claimed that massive election fraud was provable, alleging that Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic software had been used to switch millions of votes from Trump to Biden. She described a vast international conspiracy involving Venezuelan government officials, communist money from Venezuela, Cuba, and China, and claimed the evidence was overwhelming. The claims were immediately fact-checked and debunked by election officials, computer scientists, and the Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which called the 2020 election the most secure in American history. Powell was later charged with racketeering in the Georgia 2023 election interference case.
