Harrison Floyd was denied bond on Friday. A judge said he was a potential flight risk.

Floyd, who’s charged with racketeering, conspiracy and influencing a witness, turned himself in Thursday afternoon, ahead of Trump’s 20-minute appearance at the jail that evening. Prosecutors allege that Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump and the only Black man among the defendants, was part of a scheme to pressure election worker Ruby Freeman into making false statements. Freeman had been falsely accused by Trump and his allies of election fraud.

    He actually compllained that flying in a defender would cost him 40 to 100k. As if there were no lawyers in Georgia.

        I’m not sure he is thinking at all. I mean, absense of rationale thinking got him in this mess in the first place, didn’t it?
