The Georgia judge presiding over a case against former President Donald Trump and others indicated that he will not dismiss the case as it pertains to Sidney Powell, former federal prosecutor and one of the defendants. He agreed, however, to order prosecutors to look for more evidence helpful to Ms. Powell’s defense and warned that if it later turns out the prosecutors were holding back, it could undermine their case.
Ms. Powell’s lawyer, Brian Rafferty, asked for the dismissal on the grounds that the prosecutors were aware of evidence that clears his client and, therefore, the prosecutors must have lied to the grand jury to obtain the indictment.
