Sidney Powell's Key Election Witness Is A Pro-Trump Podcaster Once Sued For Fraud: Report | HuffPost

Terpsichore Maras-Lindeman has been accused by North Dakota’s attorney general of assuming false identities to “deceive people,” says lawsuit.

A secret witness who lawyer Sidney Powell has promised would reveal presidential election fraud turns out to be a pro-Donald Trump podcaster once sued for fraud, The Washington Post reported.
The QAnon-supporting lawyer has filed a series of failed, typo-riddled lawsuits challenging the results of the presidential election. Powell has claimed in court documents that her witness, a former “intelligence contractor,” knows about a foreign conspiracy to attack the election. Powell said her informant’s identity could not be revealed in order to protect her life. 
But podcaster Terpsichore Maras-Lindeman of North Dakota, who confirmed to the Post that she’s the informant, served less than a year in the Navy in the 1990s, the Post reported Thursday, and there’s no indication she worked in intelligence or as an intelligence contractor.

Her affidavit submitted in Powell’s lawsuit is a slight rewording of one of her blog posts written more than a year before the election, according to the Post.
A 2018 civil fraud case against Maras-Lindeman by the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office accused her of falsely claiming to be a physician, a Purple Heart recipient, and a Navy intelligence veteran, using several aliases and social security numbers, and exaggerating her resumes in a “persistent” effort to “deceive others,” the Post reported. A judge earlier this year ordered Maras-Lindeman to pay $25,000 in fines and attorney fees after spending donations solicited for veterans’ wreaths and homeless shelters on herself. She denied the accusations and is appealing the ruling to the state Supreme Court.
