Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has scheduled a hearing for Tuesday afternoon to consider prosecutors’ request to revoke Harrison Floyd’s bond for allegedly making incendiary statements about witnesses in the 2020 presidential election interference case. 

McAfee’s ruling will determine whether the ex-director of Black Voices for Trump will have to return to the same Atlanta jail where Floyd spent several days in August after a grand jury indicted him on charges alleging that he, Donald Trump and 17 of their co-defendants illegally conspired to try to reverse the GOP incumbent Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss to the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in Georgia and several other states. 

Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis cited in her Nov. 15 court filing recent comments Floyd made about former Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman, who the state is expected to call to testify at trial about how he allegedly tried to pressure her to falsely admit to committing voting fraud while counting absentee ballots at State Farm Arena following the Nov. 3, 2020 general election. He has also launched verbal attacks against Georgia election officials, including Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
