Trevian Kutti, a onetime publicist for Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, was among the last few defendants in former President Donald Trump‘s Fulton County election interference case to surrender ahead of a noon deadline.
Kutti faces three charges and is accused of claiming to be a crisis manager and attempting to glean a voter-fraud confession from an election worker in Georgia. She surrendered herself on Friday, just two hours before a deadline imposed by District Attorney Fani Willis.

Although she was one of the last to arrive at the Fulton County Jail, Kutti undoubtedly sported the biggest smile in her booking photo compared to the other 18 criminal defendants, some of which also cracked smiles, while others offered more subdued looks in their photos.
The six other co-defendants to surrender between Trump’s booking on Thursday night and the Friday deadline were Georgia state Sen. Shawn Still, Trump campaign official Mike Roman, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, former Coffee County elections supervisor Misty Hampton, Atlanta lawyer Bob Cheeley, and Illinois-based pastor Stephen Cliffgard Lee.

Lee became the last of the 19 defendants to turn himself in, surrendering at about 11 a.m. Friday. He faces five charges and allegedly tried to push Freeman to state falsely that the election was fraudulent and tapped defendant Harrison Floyd to help him appeal to Freeman, according to the indictment.
Each defendant in the case is charged with violating Georgia’s racketeering law, among other charges in the sweeping 41-count indictment handed up by a grand jury on Aug. 15.
