Former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell pleads guilty in Georgia election tampering case, will testify against former president in future trials


Former Donald Trump's lawyer Sidney Powell pleaded guilty Thursday, October 19, in exchange for a reduced sentence in the Georgia election tampering case, one day before the start of jury selection in her trial.


Under the deal, Powell will receive six years of probation, fork over a $6,000 fine, pen an apology letter to the people of Georgia, and must deliver testimony in future trials in the case including against the 77-year-old 45th president of the USA, Donald Trump.

Powell, 68, is the second of 19 defendants in the case to plead guilty after bail bondsman Scott Hall admitted last month to five misdemeanor charges. Hall was hit with five years of probation and must also testify in future trials as part of the deal.


Fulton County prosecutors slapped Powell with seven counts on August 14 for her alleged efforts to undermine the 2020 Peach State election. They also accused her of scheming to unlawfully access voting equipment in deep-red Coffee County, Georgia, in an attempt to find evidence of fraud.

In the aftermath of the 2020 election, Powell became one of Trump’s main lawyers in his bid to remain in power infamously vowing to “release the Kraken” of purported fraud evidence.


She also partook in numerous meetings and strategy sessions with Trump allies while they hatched plans to overturn the election, including a mid-December 2020 White House meetings.


Trump has pleaded not guilty to 13 counts in response to the Georgia indictment.


The former president is facing a grand total of 91 criminal counts spanning four criminal indictments, including the Georgia case.


The trial of another co-defendant in the Fulton County indictment, lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, is set to begin Friday with jury selection.


Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis began her probe back in early 2021 following a January 2, 2021, call Trump held with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which he emphasized the need to “find, uh, 11,780 votes” to overturn his loss to Joe Biden in the state.

Mr. Albert. The governorship candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Bassey Albert, has been sentenced to 42 years in prison for corruption. A Federal High Court in Uyo, on Thursday, convicted and sentenced Mr Albert who was prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. He has been taken to Ikot Ekpene prisons, Akwa Ibom State , to serve his prison term. Mr Albert, a serving senator representing Akwa Ibom North East District, was accused of receiving bribes of 12 cars worth N254 million from an oil marketer, Olajidee Omokore, during his (Albert’s) tenure (2010 – 2014) as commissioner for finance in Akwa Ibom State. The convicted senator was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, the ruling party in the state, before he defected months ago to the YPP, where he secured the party’s ticket for the 2023 governorship election. He was a major challenger to the PDP candidate, Umo Eno, in next year’s governorship election in Akwa Ibom State. Details later…

The father of the late Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad has spoken about the death of his son. In a video interview that went viral on Saturday, Joseph Aloba narrated, "I think the injection led to his death. I don't know the people that took him the hospital, but according to what I heard, he was vomiting after recieving the injection and that was when they decided to take him to the hospital.  "I did not hear anything from the doctor because I was not there. They had returned him home when I met his body. So, I decided that they should  bring him to Ikorodu for his burial. My believe is that it's God that gives and it's God that takes. "When he and Naira had issue, I can defend that my son was properly okay because that very day, I entered his house, prayed for him and he told me that he wants to go somewhere. "On his way coming, one of his friends just came home and said that. He gave me the evidence that he was beaten up i...

INTERNAL DISPUTES WITHIN OUR LEADERSHIP, THE SABOTAGE WHICH FACILITATED THE INVASION OF ENEMIES ON OUR LANDS IN IFON',AWODELE HABEEB,A CONCERNED INDIGENE OF IFON WRITES ON THE ONGOING CRISIS BETWEEN IFON AND HER NEIGHBOURING TOWN.

 INTERNAL DISPUTES WITHIN OUR LEADERSHIP: THE SABOTAGE WHICH FACILITATED THE INVASION OF ENEMIES ON OUR LANDS IN IFON. To all the indigenous sons and daughters of our beloved Ifọn, I will like to swiftly divert our attention to this particular opinion. After my scrupulous observations, I discovered that one of the major factors, which affected our Land (Ifon) during this time of war,is the lack of proper coordination among our so-called leaders. This opinion might look presumptuous or obnoxious to some people however, to say the fact, it is quite apparent, that the internal porousness,discriminations,disloyalty and more among our leaders, immensely contributed to our set-back in this situation. A lizard cannot penetrate, unless there is a crack on the wall.  This matter on ground,is not all about shouting the Ilobu only, we also need some corrections in our internal structure! Before, Ifon used to be a strong town, that no neighboring town can easily penetrate during time of w...

Mohbad’s Father Reveals Why He Buried His Son Quickly.

By
Image
In his words: “In Yoruba land, his corpse is not the kind to be kept when both of his parents are still alive. Assuming he died at an older age, we might have considered putting his body in the mortuary and taking it at a later date. That same night we took him away from there and buried him where we did.” The father, also said that where his son was bur!£d was the only land he knew that belonged to the singer. He Admitted that his son had given him the land to build his church, he decided to bury him there since he doesn’t know of him owning any other land. The father said: “That land where Mohbad was bur!£d is his only land, that’s the only land I know him to have owned. Truly he gave me the land to build my church because we had both agreed to build the church there, and since that’s the only land I knew him to have...  #justiceformohbad

She asked her husband, singer Adekunle Gold, a question about Harry Porter movie, but he didn't know the answer, prompting her to throw a water balloon on him.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership, UK Chapter, has slammed plans by a group to protest against Bola Tinubu in the UK. The Chairman of the chapter, Mr Tunde Doherty, addressed the planned protest in a statement on Friday, Nov. 3, in Lagos. Doherty, also the APC Committee of Diaspora Chairmen, said: “It has come to our attention that this group is organising a protest in London to propagate unfounded claims about the educational credentials of President Bola Tinubu. “We firmly believe our responsibility is to address this matter and underscore the significance of relying on substantiated facts over premature and unsubstantiated allegations. “President Bola Tinubu, a seasoned and distinguished statesman, has a long and illustrious track record of serving our great nation.

WhatsApp will soon stop working on these iPhone and Samsung devices.

By
Image
WhatsApp periodically phases out older smartphones, so it's no surprise that this year around 50 devices will no longer be able to run the messaging app. This is the second time in the last three months that WhatsApp is phasing out support for a big chunk of Android and iOS devices. The last time happened in October when WhatsApp revealed it will no longer support iPhone SE, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, as well as no less than 40 Android devices from Samsung, Huawei, LG, Sony, ZTE, HTC, Lenovo, and Alcatel. This time around WhatsApp confirmed it will no longer support nearly 50 phones, including the Apple iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c. The rest of the phones on the list are made by Samsung, Huawei, LG, Sony, Lenovo, and ZTE. The reason these phones will no longer be supported is that they haven't been updated in a very long time. It looks like WhatsApp has upped the requirements for its app, so phones that don't run at least Android 5.0 Lollipop or iOS 12. Currently,  WhatsApp's...
