Trump Co-Defendant In Georgia Election Fraud Case, Harrison Floyd, Denied Bail Due To Charge Of Assaulting An FBI Agent

Harrison Floyd, a co-defendant along with former President Donald Trump and 17 others, was denied bail in the Georgia election fraud and RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) case.

A state judge deemed the Black Voices for Trump leader a flight risk, after turning himself on the prior last Thursday. He will remain in a Fulton County jail until further proceedings are conducted in the Georgia election fraud case.

Floyd represented himself when making his first court appearance virtually after not qualifying for a public defender. He stated to the presiding judge, Emily Richardson, that legal counsel was going to cost him between $40,000 and $100,000 and was too expensive for him.

“I can’t put my family in that kind of debt, especially with my daughter,” said Floyd.

Floyd was the only one of 19 people indicted in this case who did not organize a bond agreement with state prosecutors before turning himself in. Prosecutors claim that Floyd participated in the plot by spreading false allegations of election fraud and harassing a Georgia poll worker.

Earlier this year, Floyd was charged with an assault of an FBI agent who was serving a subpoena on the federal special counsel’s election fraud case. The serving agents were screamed at, shoved and struck at Floyd’s Maryland residence, according to federal investigators.

After calling Floyd a flight risk, Judge Richardson cited this open case as a reason to keep him in jail. She also mentioned that the next presiding judge will decide whether or not to allow Floyd to receive any bail.

“I do find that based on the open charge against you there are grounds for bond to be denied at this point,” said Judge Richardson. “So I’m going to go ahead and find that you are at risk to commit additional felonies and a potential risk to flee the jurisdiction.”

Floyd’s next court appearance is yet to be finalized.
