Former Black Voices for Trump Director Still in Jail as Others Post Bond in Fulton Case: Records

The Epoch Times Header

One of former President Donald Trump’s co-defendants in the election fraud case in Georgia remained in jail Friday after Trump and the 17 others charged in the case had reported to jail and posted bond.

Court records showed defendant Harrison Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump, was due to appear in court on Friday morning. However, Judge Scott McAfee told reporters that he would not appear after all.

Later, the judge said court records contained “misinformation” about Mr. Floyd’s case, although he did not elaborate. “Mr. Floyd is entitled to a first appearance … one will not be happening today here,” Mr. McAfee told reporters.

The Fulton County Sheriffโ€™s office told The Hill and other media outlets that Mr. Floyd is being jailed since he has no bond agreement. Jail records also show that he is still being held with no bond, unlike the other defendants.

All the other defendants in the case, including President Trump and former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, have been released after posting bond, court records show.

In the Fulton County case, Mr. Floyd is charged with conspiracy to solicit false statements, influencing witnesses, and racketeering. Prosecutors allege that he allegedly attempted to pressure a local Georgia election worker into confessing election-related crimes during the 2020 election.

In the Maryland case, FBI agents went to Mr. Floyd’s apartment in February to serve a grand jury subpoena, according to the Washington Post and The Associated Press, citing an affidavit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland. It claimed that Mr. Floyd assaulted an agent and insulted him and his colleague.

According to court documents, FBI agents approached Mr. Floyd while he was holding his daughter at the apartment building’s stars, saying, โ€œSir, Iโ€™m going to walk up behind you here, and weโ€™re going to leave the subpoena right at the front door.โ€

Mr. Floyd responded, โ€œBro, I donโ€™t even know who you are,โ€ according to the court papers. โ€œYouโ€™re two random guys who are following me up here, into my house, with my daughter. Youโ€™re not showing me a [expletive] badge, you havenโ€™t shown me [expletive]. Get the [expletive] away from me.โ€
