Trump Co-Defendant Harrison Floyd Remains Incarcerated Without Bond
AllSides Summary
Of the 19 people who turned themselves in at the Fulton County Jail in connection with the most recent Trump indictment, only one still remains incarcerated.
The Details: Harrison Floyd, the former director of the activist group Black Voices for Trump, is held on racketeering charges related to his alleged efforts to help overturn the 2020 election results. Floyd, who told Fulton County Superior Court Judge Emily Richardson he cannot afford a private attorney, is being held without bond. Richardson deemed him a flight risk and a risk to commit additional felonies.
For Context: In May, Floyd was charged with assault for striking an FBI agent who followed him into his home to serve a subpoena concerning another Fulton County elections matter. Reportedly, agents tried to serve Floyd the subpoena outside, but he refused to take it. HuffPost (Lean Left bias) said Floydignored a badgeshown by an agent outside the home. Associated Press (Lean Left bias) said Floyd only backed down when one of the agents showed Floyd his gun and badge inside the home, after the altercation. Since the incident, Floyd has surrendered his passport.
Key Quotes: Floyd said, “There is no way I’m a flight risk; I showed up here before the president was here,” noting that he surrendered “voluntarily.” Richardson said a "full consideration of bond" will be handled by Georgia Judge Scott McAfee, who will preside over the case.

The picture of the guy with the gun came up in search results for this article but was not actually in the article, but in a link to a related AP article. I did a search on tineye and the first time this image appeared was August 24, two days before the date of this article.
