Sidney Powell fires back: Tucker Carlson was 'insulting, demanding,...

Sidney Powell, an attorney on President Trump's election legal team, shot back at Fox News host Tucker Carlson the morning after he said she "got angry" and refused to provide evidence on his show for her claims of voting software flipping votes.

"No, I didn’t get angry with the request to provide evidence," the former federal prosecutor said Friday morning during an interview with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo.

"In fact, I sent an affidavit to Tucker that I had not even attached to a pleading yet to help him understand the situation, and I offered him another witness who could explain the mathematics and the statistical evidence far better than I can. I’m not really a numbers person," she added.

"But he was very insulting, demanding, and rude, and I told him not to contact me again, in those terms," Powell concluded

Powell did not state whether it was Carlson or a member of his team she spoke to about appearing on his show 

On his show Friday night, Carlson said that he had made "a lot of requests" for Powell to provide evidence for the Trump campaign's allegations of widespread voter fraud but was given "not a page."

We took Sidney Powell seriously. We had no intention of fighting with her. We've always respected her work. We simply wanted to see the details. How could you not want to see them? So, we invited Sidney Powell on the show. We would've given her the whole hour. We would've given her the entire week, actually, and listened quietly the whole time at rapt attention. That's a big story. But she never sent us any evidence, despite a lot of requests — polite requests. Not a page," Carlson said.

After Powell told Carlson to stop contacting her, he said that his team "checked with others around the Trump campaign, people in positions of authority," who said that "Powell had never given them any evidence either."

Carlson's show followed a wild press conference featuring Powell and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani in which they laid out their claim of a "massive" vote-rigging scheme, laying much of the blame on Dominion Voting Systems.

"We have one very strong witness who has explained how it all works," Powell said. "His affidavit is attached to the pleadings of Lin Wood and the lawsuit he filed in Georgia. ... As soon as he saw multiple states shut down the voting on the night of the election, he knew the same thing was happening here."

Powell alleged that various "spikes" in the vote count following election night were evidence that someone was using the software in order to steal votes from Trump and propel President-elect Joe Biden to victory.

“In terms of the level of corruption we are looking at here, we have no idea how many Republican or Democratic candidates … paid to have the system rigged to work for them," she added.

Dominion has “categorically" denied charges of fraud, such as vote-switching and software errors.

In response to Carlson's Thursday night segment, Powell told the Washington Examiner: "Apparently Mr. Carlson missed the news conference today. I would continue to encourage him and all journalists to review all the materials we have provided so far and conduct their own investigations. Evidence continues to pour in, but a 5 minute television hit is not my focus now. Collecting evidence and preparing the case are my top priorities."
