Trump ‘Kraken’ lawyer Sidney Powell lands in Washington

The embattled attorney has purchased office space just outside the district.

Sidney Powell, the embattled lawyer who launched a flurry of unsuccessful lawsuits last fall advancing President Donald Trump’s election fraud claims, has established a beachhead in the Washington area by purchasing a century-old building in Alexandria’s historic Old Town neighborhood — in a cash deal.

In April, a Texas-based limited-liability corporation paid $1.2 million to purchase a former antique shop on North Washington Street, land records show. The sellers said their real estate broker told them that Powell was the buyer and that she planned to use the building, on a commercial block, as a law office occupied by 6 or 7 staff.

“It’s sort of been a source of amusement for us more than anything,” said Lois Boyles, who ran Studio Antiques and Fine Arts out of the location with husband Richard Totoiu for 28 years, before closing the store in 2019.

“Our lovely Realtor initially told us there is a law firm that’s really interested in your building and wants to pay cash and wants to close in two weeks. … A day or two later, they said, ‘Oh, by the way, it’s Sidney Powell,’” Boyles said.
