Trevian Kutti, a co-defendant in former President Donald Trump's Georgia election fraud case, said that she believes Representative Nancy Pelosi is going to kill Vice President Kamala Harris to pave the way for California Governor Gavin Newsom to be the next president.
The wild conspiracy theory was shared by Kutti during an Instagram livestream in late November, according to a report by the progressive media outlet Meidastouch. The Chicago-based publicist, who previously worked with musicians such as R. Kelly and Kanye West, has been accused by Fulton County prosecutors of pressuring county election workers in 2021 to confess to Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud in Georgia.
According to Meidastouch's report, Kutti claimed during the Instagram Live video last month that the Democratic Party is going to look for ways to "get rid of" Harris before the next election because "you cannot keep Black Democrat women voters happy and not give Kamala a shot at the presidency." Kutti, who is Black, also insinuated that Harris had incriminating evidence against Pelosi in connection to the hammer attack on the former Speaker of the House's husband, Paul, last fall.
"I basically said [President] Joe Biden would not be running for president," Kutti told her followers. "Gavin Newsom would be replacing him and...I'm going to give ya'll this theory, ok?
"So, the fact of the matter is this. You cannot keep Black women voters, Black women Democrat voters and not give Kamala Harris a shot at the presidency," she continued. "So right now, what is going to have to happen? They're going to have to dupe Kamala off some kind of way. I still think it's going to be Nancy Pelosi that assassinates her and blames it on a white supremacist because she basically got a hold of that body cam of Nancy..."
Kutti went on to say that she "really" thinks that Democrats are "going to deal with that Kamala situation" by killing the vice president so that the party "can get Black people to rally around the Democrat Party again because Black people rocking with Trump right now."
Newsweek was unable to verify the transcript of the Instagram live video in Meidastouch's report, but in a post to X, formerly Twitter, on November 30, Kutti reiterated the main parts of her theory.
"Biden will become incapacitated. Newsome will be the nominee," she wrote. "To keep black democrats namely black women at bay for Newsome, Dems (Pelosi) will assassinate Kamala and blame a white supremacist. BOOM! Black Americans will be angry and Democrats get the black vote back."
Newsweek sent an email to the White House press office for comment on the theory.
Later on in the Instagram Live video, Kutti made threats toward a Fulton County election worker that is at the heart of the charges against her in Georgia, according to Meidastouch's report. Newsweek previously reported on Kutti's threats to "f*** up" the life of a witness related to the Georgia indictment once the case was settled, which appeared to be made toward Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman.
Kutti is listed alongside Trump and 17 other co-defendants in Fulton County District Attorney Fanni Willis' sprawling racketeering case over a purported scheme to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. The publicist is specifically facing charges for allegedly traveling from Chicago to Atlanta to meet with Freeman in January 2021. During the exchange between the two women, Kutti pressured Freeman to confess to voter fraud allegations or face further consequences.
Kutti has pleaded not guilty to the charges against her in Georgia, and her bond conditions prohibit her from intimidating acts or posting about the case on social media.
Newsweek sought comment from Kutti through Instagram Messenger on Monday.
