Is a "Members Only" article but he summarized in Twitter thread; I"ll put the rest in a comment below

2/ Trevian Kutti became West's "Director of Operations" in 2018. That was just after she quit as R Kelly's chief publicist when he was being hit with a series of new sex trafficking/rape accusations.

3/ Here's Trevian's bio at the "Women's Global Initiative". Her firm "Trevian Worldwide" doesn't appear to have a website. She appears to still be Kanye's "Director of Operations". https://t.co/Mr1OLbqjQE

4/ Good Lord. A lot of this, the threats, the quotes are on camera!!!!! https://t.co/58NjwkPPCt

5/ "We have put in placement (sic) a way to move you, to secure you, from what may be authorized over the next 48 hours ... 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."

6/ Those are the words on camera of Kanye West's "director of operations" threatening a Georgia election worker about what would happen if she didn't admit to Trump's accusation. So Kanye's employee, all acting on Trump's behalf.

also note in this comment, there is a story at Reuters if you're interested in more:

This is the part that really stands out IMO:"According to Reuters, which broke the story, police took no action and did not further investigate the incident." Am I the only one that finds that extremely sus & thinks the PD should be on the hook for this woman's harassment too?

Here is the Reuters story:

That election worker had guts. I liked her reaction to the pressure: “Growing suspicious, Freeman said she jumped up from her chair and told Kutti: “The devil is a liar,” before calling for an officer.”https://t.co/7iBMIw7vFZ

Mentally ill or not, people need to stop giving him money with those ugly ass shoes and clothes. He's a grifter, and the evangelicals who believed he was a real christian are just as shallow as he is.

Jesus walks away from Kanye just like the rest of us who have sense.

More Kanye: Chicago local ABC tv station (channel 7) absolutely BLASTS Kanye & Drake for doing a benefit to free "gang magnate" and "bloodthirsty murderer" Larry Hoover (now serving 6 life sentences) and also plays segments from Ron Safer, the ex-US attorney who convicted and put away Hoover, basically saying that Hoover may be the worst criminal to ever walk the earth. Is actually quite the thing, I've never seen a local network news show opinionate so strongly

But but but Kanye is mentally ill, we must struggle to understand? (Is he likely to do a fund raiser for Trump too?)

“It’s no secret that Kanye West’s candidacy would have a spoiler effect. Voters had a right to know the Kanye 2020 campaign enlisted legal services from an array of firms with links to Trump and the GOP—including leading voter fraud conspiracy theorists.” https://t.co/69wZVkakRR
