A Georgia judge on Tuesday set a motions hearing for so-called “Kraken” lawyer Sidney Powell after she accused the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office of “abuse of its prosecutorial powers and misconduct” in a multi-pronged attack filed late last week.

In the 21-page motion, Powell’s attorney, Brian Rafferty, argues that newly-disclosed evidence “calls into question the validity of the State’s investigation writ large, its presentation to the grand jury of false and misleading ‘evidence,’ and violations of its ethical responsibilities in pursuing this prosecution—particularly as to Ms. Powell.”

Powell and “coup memo” co-author Kenneth Chesebro are currently slated to go on trial beginning Oct. 23. They both face racketeering (RICO) and other charges in Fulton County over their efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The two attorneys previously exercised their speedy trial right and will be tried separately from the other high-profile, pro-Donald Trump defendants.
