He has been charged with violating Georgia’s RICO act in addition to conspiracy to solicit false statements and writings, prison try and affect witnesses, and influencing witnesses.
Within the aftermath of the contentious presidential election in 2020, Lee went to Ruby Freeman’s home twice, and she or he known as the police. Reuters reported that he advised the officers, “I am a pastor, and I am additionally working with some of us who’re attempting to assist Ruby out. And likewise get to some fact of what is going on on.” He had pushed to Georgia from Illinois.
Based on the Instances, “the Illinois Household Institute is selling the plan to boost cash for Mr. Lee with the sale of the honey bottles, that are much like the favored “honey bear” design, solely with a likeness of Mr. Trump’s head close to the spout.” A 16-ounce bottle of “Extremely MAGA, Pure Uncooked Honey” sells for $20.
