The Rev. Stephen Cliffgard Lee from Living Word Lutheran in Orland Park, named along with 18 others in a criminal indictment that includes former President Donald Trump, is set to turn himself in to Georgia’s Fulton County Jail on Friday.
The indictment in Georgia against former President Donald Trump, photographed Aug. 15, 2023, also charges the Rev. Stephen Cilffgard Lee who is serving Living Word Lutheran Church in Orland Park.
The Illinois Family Institute, a nonprofit based in Tinley Park, has set up a donation page on its website for those interested in supporting Lee’s legal bills. The indictment against Lee regards allegations about his interactions with Fulton County poll worker Ruby Freeman. Freeman “was falsely accused” of committing election crimes by many of the defendants, the indictment reads. It also alleges that in December 2020, Lee traveled to Freeman’s home, spoke to her neighbor and knocked on Freeman’s door.
“Pastor Lee is indicted for knocking on a couple of doors,” Shestokas says. “This goes to the heart of ... free speech.”
