Kanye Wests publicist went to the home of a Georgia election official to threaten her into falsely confessing to charges of election tampering before January 6.

Publicist Trevian Kutti found the poll worker and told the 62-year old grandma she came on behalf of a “high-profile individual” to deliver a message that the woman had to confess to voter fraud charges or face jail,” Reuters reported Friday.

Reuters obtained a police report and body-cam footage of the confrontation.

Kutti came to Ruby Freeman‘s home on January 4 with an unidentified man. Freeman was scared and refused to let them in.

Freeman said in an interview that she and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss had been harassed and threatened after Donald Trump falsely claimed that they processed fraudulent voter ballots in Georgia.

“They’re saying that I need help, that it’s just a matter of time that they are going to come out for me and my family,” Freeman said on the 911 call.

A Cobb County police officer arrived to de-escalate the situation, and Freeman felt safe enough to step outside.

Kutti said Freeman was “in danger” and had “48 hours’ until people came to hurt her, according to the police report.

Kutti said cryptic things to Freeman even at the police station. Body-cam footage caught Kutti telling Freeman, “I cannot say what specifically will take place. I just know that it will disrupt your freedom and the freedom of one or more of your family members. You are a loose end for a party that needs to tidy up.”

The next day the FBI advised Freeman to leave her home for her safety. A day after that, Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6.

Kutti and West have not commented publicly on the incident.

West had a brief stint in politics, adding his name to the ballot in the 2020 election. He only won 60,000 votes.
