Fulton Co. DA asks to jail Trump co-defendant

The prosecutor in the Georgia election racketeering case wants to revoke the bond for one of Donald Trump’s co-defendants, Harrison Floyd, for allegedly threatening and intimidating potential witnesses in the case.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis cited Floyd’s social media posts and broadcast interviews she said violated his bond agreement not to interfere with witnesses.

“Since his release from custody, the Defendant has engaged in numerous intentional and flagrant violations of the conditions of his release ordered by the Court,” Willis wrote in her filing with the court.

Floyd’s lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.

Floyd, who served as a leader for the organization Black Voices for Trump, remains free on $100,000 bond, pending a trial that is not yet scheduled. Besides the overarching racketeering charge in the case, Floyd is charged with conspiring to solicit false statements and influencing witnesses for allegedly trying to get election worker Ruby Freeman to change her version of how votes were counted at State Farm Arena on election night. Floyd has pleaded not guilty.

Willis cited a Floyd social media post Nov. 1 that flagged Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his aide, Gabriel Sterling, who said the Georgia election was conducted without widespread fraud. Floyd’s message asked whether “they should be more concerned about interfering in elections, perjury before Congress, lying to DA Fani Willis, or all of the above?”

Willis argued the post constituted intimidation of potential witnesses.

The filing included several more social media posts and interviews.

Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee has not yet responded to the filing.
