She worked on former President Donald Trump’s campaign after the 2020 election. Powell allegedly coordinated with SullivanStrickler, an Atlanta company, to obtain breached election data from Coffee County.

She is also accused of tasking people to identify Georgia residents who could serve as plaintiffs in suits contesting the state’s election results.
