The notification has been filed by the attorneys representing a former Kanye West publicist who is now a co-defendant in a Georgia election interference case involving Dоnald Trump that they will no longer be representing the client.
The reason for the filing in Fulton County Superior Court on Monday evening was not specified.
Ms. Kutti, accompanied by Jacob Chansley, the “QAnon Shaman,” who was found guilty of obstruction about the January 6 аssаult on the United States Capitol, shared a photo on Instagram several hours earlier. A caption reads “Cue the haters” alongside the photo of the two individuals extending their middle fingers towards the camera.
Ms. Kutti’s alleged threаt to a witness in the case earlier this month fueled speculation that the office of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis would petition the judge to revoke her parole.
A no-contestant on allegations of witness intimidation and racketeering, she is currently released on a $75,000 bond.
Steve Greenberg, an attorney for the defense, stated to The Independent that he “refuses to comment on confidential matters, including my conversations with clients.” He maintains the view that “this prosecution is unjust and an attempt to viоlate Ms. Kutti’s First Amendment rights.”
Darryl Cohen, an attorney representing Ms. Kutti and based in Atlanta, stated in an interview with The Messenger that “a healthy lawyer-client relationship requires the client to listen, be on board, and pay you.”
He continued, “I am not claiming that any of those events occurred or did not occur; however, you may draw your conclusions.” According to The Messenger, he was speaking “generously.”
According to court documents that cite police video, she allegedly offered to connect Ms. Freeman with “high-profile individuals who can make specific things happen… to defend yourself and your family” and referred to her as “a loose end for a party that needs to clean up.” She then threatened that her “freedom and the freedom of one or more of your family members” were in jeopardy.
Ms. Willis made her courtroom debut in the case last month when she petitioned a judge to revoke a bond order for a co-defendant of the former president.
Her office claims that since his release on parole in August, Black Voices for Trump leader Harrison Floyd has “engaged in a pattern of intimidation” against his co-defendants and witnesses.
Judge Scott McAfee of the Fulton County Superior Court denied Mr. Floyd’s re-incarceration after a three-hour hearing and ordered the involved parties to draft an order restraining his public statements.
The August 2024 trial date proposed by prosecutors has been criticized by Mr. Trump’s counsel as “election interference” in the course of his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
