Dec 21 (Reuters) - A member of Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign arranged and participated in a meeting at which a Georgia election worker says she was pressed by a Chicago publicist to falsely admit voting fraud.

The revelation directly ties a senior figure in the former president’s political operation to an extraordinary late-night Jan. 4 meeting in which a $16-an-hour election worker faced pressure to implicate herself in a baseless conspiracy theory, stoked by Trump himself, as he sought to overturn his Georgia election loss.

Harrison Floyd - who was executive director of a national campaign coalition called Black Voices for Trump in 2020 - told Reuters on Monday that he asked Chicago publicist Trevian Kutti to visit the Atlanta area to speak with 62-year-old temporary election worker Ruby Freeman. Floyd said he then participated by phone in a meeting Kutti held with Freeman at a police station in Georgia’s Cobb County.

Kutti was accompanied at the meeting by another Trump campaign figure: Garrison Douglas, who was a Georgia leader in Black Voices for Trump during the campaign and now works as a Republican Party spokesperson in the state. Douglas confirmed to Reuters that he was present at the meeting. Floyd said he recruited Douglas and Kutti because he was unable to attend himself.

1. at a police station?! I wonder how they chose that venue.

Hopefully it was only that Ms. Freeman requested it.

2. I believe she or the responding police did request it.

I find this story fascinating.

I believe they were gonna try to overturn Georgia’s election, by saying that Ms. Freeman committed election fraud. When that didn’t work, the insurrection was on.

It shouldn’t surprise me that Trump would attack a little old lady this way, but somehow it is shocking. Ms. Freeman foiled that attack, and helped save us from (possibly) four more years of Trump. She knew the devil is a liar. She is my hero!
