Director of Black Voices for Trump is held in jail WITHOUT bond: Harrison Floyd becomes first MAGA ally to be booked behind bars in the Georgia election fraud case

EMILY GOODIN, and NIKKI SCHWAB | UPDATED: 18:44 EDT, 24 August 2023

The former director of Black Voices for Trump, Harrison Floyd, was the first of the 19 Fulton County defendants to be held in jail without bond.

Floyd, 39, turned himself into the Fulton County, Georgia jail Thursday afternoon, after District Attorney Fani Willis gave former President Donald Trump and the other 18 co-conspirators in her election interference case until noon on Friday to show up.

He didn't negotiate a bond so remained in custody after being charged with racketeering, conspiracy to solicit false statements and influencing witnesses.

Floyd surrendered just hours before Trump prepared to turn himself in, and braced to become the first former president in history to pose for a mugshot. . . .

Harrison Floyd to remain in Fulton County Jail after judge denies to set bond

Trump co-defendant Harrison Floyd is to remain in Fulton County Jail after Judge Emily Richardson denied to set his bond.

Floyd is one of 19 co-defendants, including former President Donald Trump, in the Georgia racketeering case. Floyd was charged in May with assaulting an FBI agent serving him a subpoena to testify in special counsel Jack Smith's federal investigation about alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Richardson argued that Floyd was at risk of committing additional crimes or fleeing if released.

“There are grounds for bond to be denied at this point,” she said, CNN reported. “I’m going to go ahead and find that you are a risk to commit additional felonies and a potential risk to flee the jurisdiction."

Richardson said a "full consideration of bond" will be addressed by Judge Scott McAfee, who will preside over the case.

Floyd was informed of this in his first virtual court appearance on Friday, at which he appeared in a prison uniform. He said he could not afford a personal attorney, but Richardson said he did not reach the eligibility requirements to be appointed a public defender. Floyd also said he had not been read his Miranda rights.

Trump co-defendant denied bond rejects the idea he’s a flight risk: ‘I showed up before the president’
August 26, 2023 | Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

Harrison Floyd has been denied bail by a judge and was informed that he would be kept in the filthy Fulton County Jail because he posed a possible flight risk.

In an update to an earlier piece on Floyd being detained, news came down on Friday that the former Black Voices for Trump director who is one of former President Trump’s co-defendants in the Georgia election case, made his initial court appearance. He pointed out to an exceedingly unsympathetic Judge Emily Richardson that he could not afford exorbitant attorney fees, claiming that the lawyers he’d spoken to cost between $40,000 and $100,000, and “I can’t put my family in that kind of debt.”

Floyd told the judge that he had requested a public defender and was denied one. Richardson informed him that he didn’t qualify for one.

She coldly informed the defendant that Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee “will go through the process if you choose to represent yourself and to not retain a lawyer. He will go through that process and those questions with you.”

Hopefully there is one decent attorney in Georgia who will step in and help him out.

This is your guy. He is the only attorney in the entire State of Georgia that I would trust.

So why would anyone signup to be involved with Trump if he doesn't have your back in doing so?

The trail of wreckage just gets bigger and bigger.

@mystery-ak

She is not a judge. She is a DNC advocate pretending to be a judge,and the worse thing about this is there is nothing that can be done to punish her for her purposeful misconduct.

@DB

Are you REALLY so desperate you are now reduced to purposely telling lies?

He is there because HE wanted to protest the theft of any election. You seem to be fine with this as long as it is Trump that is being defended.

You have no character whatsoever.

BTW,am I the only one that glanced at that headline and wondered what "Harrison Ford" had done to get arrested?

He wasn't protesting according to the article. He was pressuring an election official to admit they cheated. For it to be a conspiracy that he was charged with, at least legitimately, he had to have been asked to do so from someone connected to Trump. Otherwise, he would have simply been acting on his own.
