Trump Co-Defendant Harrison Floyd Denied Bond: Why He’s Still In Jail
Story by Brian Bushard, Forbes Staff • 5d
Harrison Floyd, the lone co-defendant in former President Donald Trump’s election interference case in Georgia who is still in custody, was denied bond by a state judge on Friday, keeping the Black Voices for Trump leader at the Fulton County Jail despite his pleas for release. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Emily Richardson determined Floyd—one of Trump’s co-defendants in his indictment this month on racketeering charges stemming from his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election—posed a flight risk as well as a risk to commit additional criminal felonies if released on bail, multiple outlets reported Friday afternoon.
Richardson said Floyd’s bond “will be addressed,” but that full consideration falls on Georgia Judge Scott McAfee, who Floyd had previously been assigned to.
Floyd, a U.S. Marine veteran, was charged with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, as well as influencing a witness and conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-co-defendant-harrison-floyd-denied-bond-why-he-s-still-in-jail/ar-AA1fMPVO
