Chicago pastor Stephen Lee has turned himself in to authorities at the Fulton County Jail in the DA's sweeping racketeering case.

With Lee's surrender, all 19 defendants in the case have turned themselves in for processing before the noon deadline that had been set by the DA.

Lee is accused in the DA's indictment of trying to strong-arm election worker Ruby Freeman, who was falsely accused of stealing ballots.

Publicist Trevian Kutti has surrendered to authorities at the Fulton County Jail, leaving only one defendant remaining to turn themselves in before the DA's noon deadline, according to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office.

Former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, Georgia state Sen. Shawn Still, former Coffee County elections director Misty Hampton, Georgia lawyer Robert Cheeley and Trump staffer Michael Roman all surrendered for processing since last night, the sheriff's office said.

The last remaining defendant is Chicago pastor Stephen Lee, who officials said is expected to surrender today.

Defendant John Eastman, who faces nine counts in the DA's indictment, said Trump's surrender to authorities Thursday was "a crossing of the Rubicon in our system of justice."

Speaking last night outside the California Bar Court where he is fighting disbarment, the former Trump attorney said he will mount a strong defense to the DA's case.

"We have very viable legal defenses and constitutional defenses," said Eastman, who was processed and released from Fulton County Jail Wednesday.

Eastman, who is accused of drafting a plan for Trump to cling to power by falsely claiming then-Vice President Mike Pence could reject legitimate electors during the Jan. 6 certification of the vote, has indicated that he will seek to sever his case from the other defendants.

"It's because we'd like to get out of it sooner," he told ABC News. "Because we did nothing wrong."

Following Donald Trump's surrender for processing on Thursday night, five more defendants in the case surrendered overnight at the Fulton County Jail.

Out of the 19 total defendants, only Trevian Kutti and Stephen Lee have yet to turn themselves in as today's noon deadline approaches.

Both Kutti, a publicist who once repped Ye and R. Kelly, and Lee, an Illinois pastor, are accused of trying to strong-arm election worker Ruby Freeman, who was falsely accused of stealing ballots.

Speaking on a local Atlanta radio show, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis defended her decision to bring the sprawling racketeering case, arguing that the case is an even-handed application of the law.

"There's really nothing sexy about this," Willis told Atlanta Up Close's Maria Boynton. "There's allegations of a crime, and then to look at the law and if the facts bear out that the law has been broken, then we have a duty and a responsibility to bring charges."

The DA also said that recent threats made against her will not deter her from pursuing her case against the former president and his co-defendants.

"In the words of Jay-Z, brush my shoulders off and we just keep pushing," Willis said. "That is not going to deter me from doing my job."

Willis described the process of determining defendants' bond amounts as "literally just plugging things in" to a formula based on factors related to a defendant's flight risk. She also reiterated her past statement about the requirement for all defendants to surrender for processing by Friday at noon.

"Should people fail to turn themselves in, then a warrant will be filed on the system, and they'll have to be arrested," she said.

Of the 19 defendants, 15 have negotiated their bond packages and nine have subsequently been booked and released.
