Orland Park minister Stephen Lee and Chicago publicist Trevian Kutti turned themselves in to authorities Friday morning on charges in the Georgia case alleging an illegal plot to overturn Donald Trump's 2020 election loss.
alleging they schemed to illegally overturn his 2020 election loss and stop the peaceful transition of power. Prosecutors say Stephen Lee worked with others to try to pressure Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman and her daughter after Trump and his allies falsely accused them of pulling fraudulent ballots from a suitcase during the vote count. Lee allegedly knocked on Freeman’s door, frightening her and causing her to call 911 three times, prosecutors said in a court filing last year.
Prosecutors allege publicist Trevian Kutti claimed to have high level law enforcement connections. They say Freeman met with Kutti at a police precinct, where she brought Willie Lewis Floyd, also among those indicted, into the conversation on a speakerphone. Prosecutors say Kutti presented herself as someone who could help Freeman but then pressured her to falsely confess to election fraud.
The 97-page, 41-count indictment names Donald Trump, Rudolph Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Jenn Lynn Ellis, Ray Stallings Smith III, Robert Cheeley, Michael Roman, David Shafer, Shawn Micah Tresher Still, Stephen Cliffgard Lee, Harrison William Prescott Floyd, Trvian C. Kutti, Sidney Powell, Cathleen "Cathy" Latham, Scott Grahama Hall, and Misty Hampton .
Those charged face a slew of charges, including racketeering, violating the oath of a public officer, forgery, false statements and other offenses.
