Sidney Powell's lawyer argues her Fox News appearances were not infomercials and compares her to a

Buddhist monk as they move to dismiss defamation lawsuit

An attorney for Sidney Powell filed a court motion Thursday asking a judge to dismiss a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against her, saying her television appearances advancing conspiracy theories about the 2020 election were not infomercials and comparing her to a Buddhist monk.

The filing in New York state court said Powell was sincerely concerned about the integrity of the election. Powell didn't just want to raise money through her organization Defending the Republic, as the voting-technology company Smartmatic alleged in its lawsuit, her attorney said.

"Powell's Fox News interviews were about election integrity, evidence of election fraud, and her intention to take legal action to bring the malfeasance to light," the filing said.

"Her appearances were not informercials promoting her law firm or DTR's websites," it added, appearing to misspell the word "infomercial."
