Tucker Carlson dared question a Trump lawyer. The backlash was quick.
For more than a week, a former federal prosecutor named Sidney Powell made the rounds on right-wing talk radio and cable news, facing little pushback as she laid out a conspiracy theory that Venezuela, Cuba and other “communist” interests had used a secret algorithm to hack into voting machines and steal millions of votes from President Trump.
So it came as most unwelcome news to the president’s defenders when Tucker Carlson, the host of a Fox News show and a confidant of Mr. Trump, dissected Ms. Powell’s claims as unreliable and unproven.
“What Powell was describing would amount to the single greatest crime in American history,” Mr. Carlson said on Thursday night, his voice ringing with incredulity in a 10-minute monologue at the top of his show. But, he said, when he invited Ms. Powell on his show to share her evidence, she became “angry and told us to stop contacting her.”
The response was immediate, and hostile. The president’s allies in the conservative media and their legions of devoted Trump fans quickly closed ranks behind Ms. Powell and her case on behalf of the president, accusing the Fox host of betrayal.
The backlash against Mr. Carlson and Fox for daring to exert even a moment of independence underscores how little willingness exists among Republicans to challenge the president and his false narrative about the election he insists was stolen.
.
Mr. Carlson is no ordinary Trump critic. He has been one of the president’s most aggressive defenders in prime time, especially when it came to standing up for Mr. Trump.He has also generally bought into the disproved notion that voter fraud is a widespread problem — a popular position with Mr. Trump and on Mr. Carlson’s network.
Mr. Carlson, no doubt aware that many in his audience, including possibly the president himself, would not like what they were hearing, walked a fine line on Thursday night. He insisted that he and his producers “took Sidney Powell seriously.”
He also tried to reassure his audience that he was on their side after all, explaining how he always kept an open mind about alleged cover-ups like the one Ms. Powell has promoted. “We don’t dismiss anything,” he said. “We literally do U.F.O. segments.”
总统特朗普选营负责选举舞弊诉讼的律师表示，已经掌握大选出现舞弊的证据，未来两星期将向法庭提交文件，证明自己提出的所有指控。
综合Newsmax、英国《每日邮报》等媒体报道，特朗普阵营的律师鲍威尔（Sidney Powell）20日接受霍士电视台访问时表示，手头的大量证据证明，投票系统供应商多米宁（Dominion）操纵大选结果，这家公司具有委内瑞拉背景，虽然尝试掩盖，但公司的确是依靠委国的投资而成立，当初为协助委国前总统查韦斯（Hugo Chavez）操控当地选举，现在又转移到美国。
鲍威尔受访时又表示，这次大选时，系统数据被传到海外3、4个国家，设在当地的控制室可在点票过程中实时观测票数，然后设法协助拜登翻盘。鲍威尔并说，有证据显示，美国这次大选遭到全球最恶劣的共产党国家的操纵，而他们其中一个证人，是一名在现场目击这个投票造假系统是如何创建的年轻军官。
在这次最新指控之前，特朗普阵营已经点名多米宁，公司当时已否认。鲍威尔受访的环节播出后，多米宁再次强烈否认所有指控，表示公司不属任何党派，而且源自美国，与委内瑞拉或其他国家没有任何关系。对于点票数字，公司表示无法即时监控，所有结果“100%可以审计”。
访谈过程中，主持人又问起鲍威尔，是否与霍士电视台另一名著名保守派主持人卡尔森（Tucker Carlson）交恶。事件起源于19日，当晚卡尔森在节目中表示，自己邀请鲍威尔受访，但在整整一小时中对方都没有提出任何证据，最后更大发脾气。鲍威尔回应时指自己没有发怒，也曾向卡尔森发送一份证人口供，又介绍证人协助解释数据，但对方态度恶劣，所以不愿再和这个人联络。
Perhaps Sidney Powell has gone too far even for Rudy Giuliani this time.
The Trump campaign’s legal team has moved to distance itself from the firebrand conservative attorney after a tumultuous few days in which Powell made multiple incorrect statements about the election voting process, unspooled complex conspiracy theories and vowed to “blow up” Georgia with a “biblical” lawsuit.
“Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own. She is not a member of the Trump legal team. She is also not a lawyer for the president in his personal capacity,” Giuliani and another lawyer for Trump, Jenna Ellis, said in a statement on Sunday.
Trump himself has heralded Powell’s involvement, tweeting last week that she was part of a team of “wonderful lawyers and representatives” spearheaded by Giuliani.
There was no immediate clarification from the campaign and Powell did not immediately return an email seeking comment.
川普法律团队与鲍威尔切割！朱利安尼：她不是团队一员
资深律师、前联邦上诉官鲍威尔
川普总统的竞选活动在周日的一份声明中表示，西德尼-鲍威尔既不是其法律团队的成员，也不是川普个人的律师。
鲍威尔是竞选活动周四新闻发布会的一部分，声称拜登赢得选举要感谢委内瑞拉政权的 "共产主义资金"。川普的盟友、前新泽西州州长克里斯蒂称鲍威尔的行为是 "全国面前丢人现眼"，她的行为 "令人愤慨"。
值得注意的是。川普在本月早些时候特别指出 鲍威尔是其竞选法律团队的成员之一。
川普法律团队高级顾问、宪法律师珍娜·埃利斯（Jenna Ellis）发布了一份与朱利安尼联合署名的声明，表示鲍威尔（Sidney Powell）不是川普法律团队的成员，她仅代表个人处理法律事务。
埃利斯周日在其认证推特号上发声明说：“鲍威尔并不是川普法律团队的成员。她也并不是川普的代表律师。”
一周前，川普总统宣布鲍威尔加入了他的律师团队，因此以上声明引起广泛猜测。据悉，鲍威尔一直在负责调查在美国多个州广泛采用的Dominion投票系统，表示该系统通过篡改物理设备及远程黑客攻击，将投给川普总统的选票转给了民主党总统候选人拜登。
Dominion投票系统公司发言人11月22日否认了鲍威尔的指控。
目前，鲍威尔律师和川普竞选团队都没有对以上声明做出回应。
川普团队资深律师林伍德对此发布推文说，“鲍威尔与我，相似点远多于不同点。我们为共同的客户们在不同的法律领域战斗，我们为人民而战。所有的利益都是一致的。”
“没有巧合。一切都已有计划。坚守自己的信念。耐心一点”，林伍德在另一则推文中安慰川普支持者说。
