Attorney Confesses to Leaking Damning Videos in Trump Election Case

A lawyer representing a fired county election employee charged with participating in Donald Trump's election meddling efforts in Georgia admitted to leaking videos that showed lawyers Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis turning on Trump. The admission came during an emergency court hearing requested by Atlanta prosecutors, who are seeking to stop leaks to journalists before trial. The leaked videos, which caused a news firestorm, led to a renewed request to seal off access to documents shared between law enforcement and defendants. The lawyer defended his actions, stating that the videos provided missing context and countered the vilification of his client in the press. The judge expressed concerns about pretrial discovery and the dissemination of evidence but did not indicate any punishment for the lawyer's actions. A ruling is expected soon.
