The team of the outgoing US President, Donald Trump, announced that it is no longer working with attorney Sydney Powell, who raised controversy after announcing the existence of widespread fraud in the presidential elections, which took place on November 3, without providing evidence to the media.

"Sidney Powell is a practicing lawyer on her own account and she is not a member of Trump's legal team," former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is Trump's personal lawyer, said in a statement.

He added, "Nor is she a personal attorney for the president."

Trump, who does not admit losing the presidential election, said on Twitter, on November 14, that Powell would be a member of his legal team, along with Giuliani, and Gina Ellis, the legal advisor for the Trump campaign.

Trump's legal team is making efforts to try to reverse the outcome of the presidential elections in several states, including the major states of Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Giuliani's statement came days after a press conference held by members of Trump's legal team, especially Giuliani himself and Sydney Powell, in which they talked about the existence of a "national conspiracy", the aim of which might be to deny Trump victory. "

However, the attorneys of the team did not provide the journalists present with concrete evidence of the accusations they had made, saying they were keeping it for prosecution.

During that press conference, Powell made statements that were repeated and repeated at a later time, according to which Trump defeated his Democratic rival, Joe Biden by a large margin.

According to major American media outlets, Biden won 306 of the votes of the top electorate, which is 36 more than the electoral college vote required to win, which is 270 votes.

Powell also said that "electronic electoral fraud systems linked to Venezuela and Cuba have been used to distort the election results and steal millions of votes from Trump."
