A Georgia indictment detailing former President Trump’s attempts to overturn the state’s 2020 election includes numerous references to poll worker Ruby Freeman. Freeman, an election staffer in Fulton County, became the target of Trump and his then-attorney Rudy Giuliani, who accused her of mishandling ballots. This led to a barrage of threats against Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss. Freeman’s name appears prominently in the indictment, highlighting the alleged victimization of a poll worker trying to serve her county. Freeman spoke to investigators from the House committee investigating the January 6th attack, recounting the harassment campaign she and her daughter faced. Giuliani claimed to have video evidence of Freeman and Moss scanning hidden ballots. However, the alleged evidence turned out to be a harmless ginger mint. Trump referred to Freeman as a “professional vote scammer.” The indictment takes seriously the harassment of election workers, with prosecutors aiming to protect the people of Fulton County. Trump’s remarks generated threats against the women and prompted Trump allies to offer their assistance in influencing Freeman’s statements. Illinois pastor Stephen Lee and Black Voices for Trump leader Harrison Floyd were allegedly enlisted to mislead Freeman and sway her testimony. Later, Trevian Kutti, a former publicist for rapper and Trump ally Kanye West, joined their efforts. The role played by the election workers introduces a racial component to the case. Freeman and Moss faced harassment and threats that significantly impacted their lives. The false claims of election fraud circulated by Trump’s circle caused Moss to testify before the Jan. 6th committee. These personal details could sway jurors and make the case more relatable. Freeman and Moss have sued Giuliani for defamation, but addressing the false statements in a criminal case carries a different weight and level of accountability. The indictment emphasizes the human cost of the alleged actions of Trump and his allies, showing that their actions were not without victims.
