Sidney Powell Says White House Aides Are Blocking Her Efforts to Help Trump

Contact Your Elected Officials

Attorney Sidney Powell said in a Dec. 23 interview with Zenger News that senior White House aides are preventing her from communicating with President Donald Trump and are blocking her efforts to assume a formal coordinating role in pursuing contest-of-election challenges on the presidentโ€™s behalf.

The interview followed what has been widely reported as a tense meeting at the Oval Office on Friday, first reported by The New York Times, with the participation of Trump, Powell, former national security adviser Michael Flynn, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, and White House counsel Pat Cipollone. National security adviser Robert Oโ€™Brien and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani reportedly participated by phone.

Powell told Zenger News that she was verbally offered the position of โ€œspecial White House counselโ€ by Trump during Fridayโ€™s meeting, but that she has been unable to present the president with paperwork that would make it official and that her appointment has effectively been blocked.

โ€œIt has not come to pass,โ€ Powell said, โ€œbecause it seems it was blocked after Friday night, or undone, or Iโ€™m not sure what youโ€™d call itโ€ by senior White House staff, she suggested.

โ€œSomeone threw sand in the gears?โ€ the interviewer asked. โ€œSomething like that,โ€ Powell replied.

โ€œIโ€™ve been blocked from speaking to or communicating with the president since I left the Oval Office on Friday night,โ€ Powell said, โ€œby apparently everyone aroundโ€ the president.

Powell clarified that the role she was offered was โ€œnot a Robert Mueller-style special counsel,โ€ but that โ€œthere was a discussion about me being a special White House counsel.โ€ A special counsel is appointed by the Attorney General, while a special White House counsel can be appointed by the president.

Attorney General William Barr said at a press conference Monday that he doesnโ€™t see a reason to appoint a special counsel to probe election fraud allegations.
