State Bar of Texas seeks sanctions against Dallas lawyer Sidney Powell over Trump 2020 vote disputes
AUSTIN — The State Bar of Texas is seeking sanctions against Dallas lawyer Sidney Powell over her failed efforts to contest the 2020 election results on behalf of the Donald Trump campaign.
A petition filed on March 1 accuses Powell of professional misconduct by filing “frivolous” voter fraud lawsuits in four states, making false statements to a court and offering evidence she knew to be false.
Powell “had no reasonable basis to believe the lawsuits she filed were not frivolous,” according to a petition filed in Dallas County district court by the bar’s commission for lawyer discipline.
The petition asks the court to determine an appropriate sanction, which could range from reprimand to disbarment. Powell has been licensed to practice law in Texas since 1978.
