Powell later responded exclusively to Twitter’s action on “The Sara Carter Show” Monday.

“I woke up to that this morning,” Powell said. “I think I’ve gotten that resolved now. I actually went on a Twitter rampage yesterday to stand up for America, to stand up for honesty, for respect, for decency, to protect our statues and our culture, to protect our freedoms, individual property rights, everything that America was built on. And that’s what comes of it?

She continued, “We also destroyed the New York Times article that came out yesterday. That was a bunch of abject lies about our case and how we conducted it. Molly McCann, my associate, did a brilliant rebuttal of that on Twitter, and of course, I retweeted that so I don’t know. I also tweeted that black lives matter is a Marxist organization, which you can see by the video of their founder.”

“It’s not something I made up and anything, any group that seeks to rule by mob and destroy anything in this country, any property and he statue anything,” Powell explained. “I mean, I was raised that you don’t touch property that isn’t yours. Whether it’s a laptop left on a seat in an airport or whatever, you pick it up and you turn it in the lost and found. But you do not do anything the harm, anyone else’s property or public property. And those who do should be severely punished immediately. We’ve got to restore American respect for other people’s property and persons.”

Twitter reinstated Powell’s account several hours after this report was first published. Twitter hasn’t responded to SaraACarter.com’s request for comment. The story will be updated if there is a response.

Special Counsel Jack Smith Files Motion to Dismiss Election Subversion Case Against Trump

Breaking Monday, Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion to dismiss his election subversion case against President-elect Donald Trump, citing constitutional requirements ahead of Trump’s January inauguration.

“The Department’s position is that the Constitution requires that this case be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,” Smith wrote in a six-page court filing, clarifying that the decision was not tied to the merits of the case.

Trump, who has consistently denied the charges, had faced federal prosecution for alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election and mishandling classified documents—marking an unprecedented moment in U.S. history.

Smith’s motion follows Trump’s victory in the 2024 election and signals the winding down of the Justice Department’s investigation. Judge Tanya Chutkan must still approve the dismissal for the case to be officially closed.

Earlier this year, a Supreme Court ruling granted Trump partial presidential immunity, complicating Smith’s prosecution and allowing Trump’s legal team to delay proceedings long enough to prevent a trial before the election.

Trump had pleaded not guilty to all charges, including those from a refiled indictment after the Supreme Court ruling. Meanwhile, a separate case involving alleged improper retention of classified records was dismissed after a judge ruled Smith’s appointment as special counsel unlawful, though an appeal is ongoing.

Steven Cheung, Trump’s spokesman and incoming White House communications director, hailed the DOJ’s decision as a “major victory for the rule of law.” He added, “The American People and President Trump want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and look forward to uniting our country.”
