Who is Trevian Kutti?
Trevian Kutti is a well-known publicist who has drawn notice for both her professional accomplishments and her pro-Trump opinions.
Beyond her work as a publicist, Kutti has had a varied career path that has included running a high-end clothing boutique and advocating for cannabis businesses in Illinois. She describes herself as a “solutionist,” a “equal opportunity capitalist,” and a “media manipulator” on her Instagram profile as a result of her repeated social media endorsements of Trump.
The accusations made against Kutti originate from alleged attempts to sway an election official’s testimony in a case involving possible electoral fraud.

Fulton County election worker, Ruby Freeman, became a focal point in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election due to allegations of improper vote counting. The indictment alleges that Kutti, along with other alleged co-conspirators, orchestrated a series of actions aimed at influencing Freeman’s testimony, as reported by CBS News.
Furthermore, it appears from the details that Harrison Floyd, a significant player in the Black Voices for Trump movement, was instrumental in persuading Kutti to fly from her base in Chicago to Atlanta, where she allegedly pretended to be a “crisis manager” and approached Freeman under the pretense of offering support.
According to rumors, the scheme was designed to sway Freeman’s testimony about the 2020 presidential race.

Donald Trump labeled Ruby Freeman as a ‘professional vote scammer’
A significant aspect of this case revolves around accusations that Freeman and her daughter wrongly awarded Joe Biden 18,000 votes while working at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on election day.
These allegations were amplified by former President Trump, who labeled Freeman a “professional vote scammer” and accused her of being a “political operative,” as per CBS News..Â

The accusation that Kutti played in getting Freeman to admit to voter fraud, which Trump passionately pushed after losing the election, is at the heart of the case.
The specifics depict a contentious encounter between Kutti and Freeman during which Kutti allegedly asserted that he was employed by “some of the biggest names in the industry.”
Freeman claims that at this discussion, Kutti used subtle coercion and threats against him, threatening severe consequences if he didn’t comply.
It’s interesting how Kutti’s alleged threats changed to sound menacing when she allegedly told Freeman that a forthcoming event would “disrupt your freedom.”
Kutti reportedly informed Freeman that if she didn’t leave her house in the next 48 hours, someone would show up there if she did not comply with the demands – a claim that added a sense of urgency and intimidation to the alleged actions.
Notably, the interactions between Kutti, Freeman, and other co-defendants were not isolated. The indictment suggests that several co-defendants, including Floyd and Stephen Lee, engaged in multiple interactions with Freeman on January 3, 2021 – the day before Kutti’s alleged attempt to influence Freeman’s testimony, as per CBS News.

What are the charges against Trevian Kutti?
Trevian Kutti’s legal challenges are compounded by the fact that she has been charged with multiple crimes, including violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute. This statute, often associated with organized crime cases, mandates a minimum sentence of five years in prison upon conviction.
As legal proceedings advance, Kutti, Floyd, and Lee find themselves facing charges of conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements and writings. Their alleged efforts to sway Freeman’s testimony and coerce her into admitting to election fraud carry significant legal implications.
Despite Kutti’s vigorous denial of the allegations, her past interactions with Freeman have generated significant public interest. In December 2021, Kutti took to her Instagram account to address the accusations, asserting that media outlets were misrepresenting her past work with Kanye West to tarnish her reputation in connection with Trump, according to CBS News.
