She was among the defendants who surrendered last week to be booked and then released from the Fulton County Jail.
Powell was Trump’s attorney after he had lost the 2020 election but claimed that it had been stolen from him, despite not having evidence to back those claims.
Her bond had been set for $100,000, WSB reported.
Powell isn’t the only person who has already entered their pleas before next week’s hearing.
Trevian Kutti, the former publicist for Kanye West, also entered a not-guilty plea. Officials said Kutti visited the home of election worker Ruby Freeman, telling her that she was a crisis manager and telling Freeman to confess to committing election fraud or be arrested.
She is charged with violation of the Georgia RICO Act, conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements and writings and influencing witnesses.
