Sidney Powell, the attorney who filed multiple lawsuits to overturn former President Donald Trump's 2020 election loss, is now an outcast in Trump circles, according to The Daily Beast.
The attorney, who pushed QAnon conspiracy theories and promoted baseless election claims, is reportedly now on Trump's "no-go list," and advisers are working to rebuff Powell, sources familiar with the situation told The Daily Beast.
The sources told the media outlet that advisers have put her on an informal list of people to keep away from the former president and added that her phone calls would reportedly be rejected. One Trump lawyer told The Daily Beast that they had recently deleted her phone number.
Powell is also unwelcome at Trump's properties, including his private clubs and offices, and advisers have been instructed to keep a lookout for her, the media outlet reported.
"Sidney is very much on the no-go list," one of the sources told The Daily Beast. "Her problems right now do not need to be the [former] president's problems."
Powell is facing potential disbarment following a "frivolous" lawsuit seeking to decertify Michigan's election results.
In August, a federal judge ordered sanctions against her and other lawyers for engaging in litigation practices that were "abusive and, in turn, sanctionable." The judge formally requested that disciplinary bodies investigate whether she should have her law license revoked, Reuters reported and ordered that she attend classes on the ethical and legal requirements for filing legal claims.
Powell, who baselessly accused Dominion Voting Systems of manipulating the election, is also battling a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit, Insider previously reported.
The Trump team first distanced itself from Powell in November 2020 after she made multiple incorrect statements about the election voting process, The Guardian said.
President Donald Trump told aides in private that he thought attorney Sidney Powell was "crazy" but had still promoted her to his legal team as he challenged some presidential election results, Axios reported.

Trump dumping Powell must really chap her kraken!
The RNC should have trashed her. She cost the GOP two Senators in Georgia:
Who was she working for?
Powell worked for Trump but he dumped her. She has spread that Big Lie we talked about...
She got GA Republicans to sit home on election night. That's all I care about.
Republicans didn't sit home. More Democrats came out. You had better get used to that...
FALSE:
"Control of the U.S. Senate was on the line, but many Georgia Republicans — at least some deterred by Donald Trump’s loss — stayed home rather than cast ballots in January’s runoffs.
More than half of the no-shows were white, and many lived in rural areas, constituencies that lean toward Republican candidates."
I deal in facts.
Exactly right!
She wouldn't know crazy if Charles Manson was eating Fruit Loops on her front porch.
She joins Rudy Four Seasons and probably soon Lin Wood.
The three stooges.
Don't worry about being dropped from 'the go list', Sidney. So are Daniels and McDougal at the moment, the optics are-----------to hard to deflect.
She wore out her usefulness to Trump, until he needs new conspiracy theories, then she'll be back on the A Team.
Rat Shits called Powell. Want their reputations back!
1.3 BILLION???
I doubt she has that kind of money.
Oh...and for the peanut gallery...those republicans stayed at home because they are big wussies. Nobody forced them to stay home so blame them for Georgia losing two senate seats to Democrats. The Democrats were emboldened and came out and voted the candidates they felt would truly represent them
