In Georgia, the Fulton County District Attorney moves to revoke the bond of a Trump co-defendant, citing social media posts alleged to intimidate witnesses. The defendant is Floyd, a leader in Black Voices for Trump who was charged alongside the former president.
As a starting point, let’s look at the defense’s reaction. According to a WABE report, Floyd’s attorney dismissed the District Attorney’s bid to revoke bond as “nonsense,” expressing confidence that it won’t be approved. Planning to file a motion to disqualify the DA, he cites her alleged personal bias against his client as grounds for removal from the prosecution.
Moving on, let’s delve into some background about Floyd’s case. According to a WABE report, Floyd differed from the other 18 defendants by voluntarily entering Fulton County Jail without legal representation or a prior bond agreement in August. His release came after his lawyer negotiated a $100,000 bond by August 30, setting him apart from the rest of the case’s defendants.
The next point revolves around Floyd’s contentious online activity. According to a Fox 8 report, Floyd made posts on X which prosecutors say attacked Georgia’s Secretary of State Raffensperger and his aide Sterling who might testify. Prosecutors further allege that posts by Floyd seemed to suggest that they meddled in elections lied to Congress and lied to Willis.
Notably, this isn’t Floyd’s only legal concern at present. According to a WABE report, Floyd also faces federal charges for allegedly confronting FBI agents tasked with serving him a grand jury subpoena in an aggressive manner.
The power to determine Floyd’s fate lies with a certain judge. According to a Fox 8 report, Judge Scott McAfee of the Fulton County Superior Court holds the final decision on whether to approve the request to revoke bond or not.
The last piece of information provides context for Floyd’s involvement in this case. According to a Fox 8 report, Floyd, a leader in Black Voices for Trump, was charged alongside the former president for allegedly attempting have election worker Ruby Freeman make false statements about Election Day 2020. Floyd pleaded not guilty to the charges.
