Trevian Kutti, one of 18 co-defendants in former President Donald Trump's Georgia election racketeering case, acknowledged to a Fulton County judge Tuesday that she only became privy to her latest hearing through tweets.
"I was getting a mass amount of pings on Twitter about a hearing. I had no idea about it," Kutti explained.
Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee made clear that it was the responsibility of Kutti's lawyer to keep track of her hearings from now on and that he be speaking on her behalf, according to Newsweek.
"He had no idea either," Kutti said referring to her lawyer identified as George Donaldson.
"Kutti says she only found out about this on Twitter and neither did her lawyer," wrote law professor Anthony Michael Kreis on a Twitter/X post. "Donaldson filed his notice of appearance under the wrong docket. This will be fixed. Court is adjourned."
Kutti, who at one point served as a publicist for Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West has been riddled with a musical chairs of representation given that three attorneys filed motions to withdraw from the case.

She stands accused of coordinating with Black Voices for Trump leader Harrison Floyd and Rev. Stephen Cliffgard Lee to pressure Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss into making false statements about the way votes had been processed.
Trump, the presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee, pleaded not guilty to charges that he led a conspiracy to flip the 2020 presidential election result in Georgia and prevent the state from going to Democratic rival President Joe Biden.
The case took a dramatic shift when Trump co-defendant, Michael Roman, sought to formally remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case over a clandestine relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade involving spending county monies on lavish trips together.
McAfee permitted Willis to stay on the case but only if Wade was removed. Wade tendered his resignation shortly afterward.
Trump's defense appealed that ruling.
