Chicago-based publicist Trevian Kutti, one of the defendants accused of attempting to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election results along with former President Donald Trump, surrendered at Fulton County Jail on Friday.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis charged Kutti with violating Georgia’s anti-racketeering law, influencing a witness and conspiring to solicit false statements.
