Chicago publicist Trevian Kutti and Orland Park pastor Stephen Cliffgard Lee were named as defendants in the Georgia indictment brought against Donald Trump and others.
in 2003 to defend a Gold Coast store’s window display showing rolled-up dollar bills perched alongside mounds of white powder and razor blades — an apparent nod to cocaine use.
In 2009, another storefront got her into the paper, this time in a display featuring a $2,000 gown with a bold “plunge to the rear” at the Old Town boutique she owned. Neighbors complained when a sign next to the dress read, simply, “a--.” At the time, Kutti told the Tribune she was known for her racy window displays and argued the sign wasn’t obscene.A state-run database of lobbyists working in Illinois identifies her as an active lobbyist for a cannabis company.
Prosecutors argue Kutti traveled to Fulton County after the election and misled election worker Ruby Freeman “by stating that she needed protection and by purporting to offer her help, with intent to influence her testimony in an official proceeding,” the indictment states. Freeman and her daughter were facing viral online attacks after Trump accused her of being a “professional vote scammer” and “hustler” who “stuffed the ballot boxes” in a call with Georgia state officials after the election. Testifying before the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in June 2022, she and her daughter told lawmakers the accusations upended their lives.
“There is nowhere I feel safe. Nowhere,” Freeman said in a video. “Do you know how it feels to have the president of the United States target you? The president of the United States is supposed to represent every American, not to target one.”
