The Trump campaign issued a statement Sunday night announcing Sidney Powell is not a member of President Trump’s legal team.
The statement was posted online by campaign attorney Jenna Ellis on behalf of lead campaign attorney Rudy Giuliani.
Powell had appeared at a campaign legal team press conference earlier this week alongside Giuliani and Ellis.
Statement:

On *Thursday*, Giuliani, flanked by Powell, said “This is representative of our legal team. We’re representing President Trump and we’re representing the Trump campaign,” listing himself, Ellis, Powell, Joe DiGenova, Victoria Toensing, & Boris Ephsteyn as “the senior lawyers.” https://t.co/Vr15uMsEFc pic.twitter.com/wxFGODm9BN

President Trump posted this on November 14.
I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!

Notice that the campaign did not say the same thing about Joe DiGenova, Victoria Toensing and Boris Ephsteyn.
