Fani Willis wants bond revoked for election defendant Floyd over social media posts

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has asked a Georgia court to revoke bond for one of the defendants in her election case, asserting that Harrison Floyd had repeatedly violated the terms of his bond agreement through his social media posts.

Floyd, a Black Voices for Trump leader, is one of Trump's 18 co-defendants in the election case and faces allegations that he attempted to influence election official Ruby Freeman to make false statements about the election. He entered the Fulton County Jail in August without negotiating his bond in advance and was the only defendant to do so.

Floyd has criticized Georgia officials on his social media and maintains that former President Donald Trump legitimately carried the Peach State in 2020. He further made a litany of posts involving Freeman. On Monday, for instance, he posted audio purportedly of Freeman and himself.

"Does this sound like Ruby Freeman is being PRESSURED? Why would DA Fani Willis want to hide this from the public?" he posted.

"Because of and in response to the Defendant's intimidating communications, witness Ruby Freeman has been the subject of renewed threats of violence from third parties," Willis said, according to The Hill.

Willis has asked Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to revoke his bond, pointing to Floyd's posts and saying "[s]ince his release from custody, the Defendant has engaged in numerous intentional and flagrant violations of the conditions of release ordered by the Court."

Through his posts, Willis argued, Floyd sought to "intimidate codefendants and witnesses, to communicate directly and indirectly with codefendants and witnesses and to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice."
