Harrison Floyd, a co-defendant in the Georgia RICO case involving Donald Trump, could have his bond revoked. Today, Judge Scott McAfee will hear arguments from Fulton County prosecutors and Floyd’s defense attorneys.

Floyd has made several troubling remarks on podcasts and social media.

The former director of Black Voices For Trump is the only Black male indicted in the RICO Case involving Trump’s attempt to defraud Georgia voters during the 2020 election.
Floyd is facing five felony counts for allegedly harassing election worker Ruby Freeman. He and his co-defendants Trevian Kutti and Stephen Lee allegedly pressured Freeman to admit to voter fraud or risk being incarcerated.
