Harrison Floyd, one of Donald Trump’s co-defendants in the election subversion case in Georgia, claimed in a court filing Monday that prosecutors are seeking to revoke his bond as retaliation after he rejected a plea deal.
Prosecutors say Floyd, the leader of Black Voices for Trump, made social media posts against witnesses in the case that “demonstrate that he poses a significant threat of intimidating witnesses.”
A hearing on the motion to revoke Floyd’s bond agreement and potentially send him to jail is set for Tuesday afternoon before Judge Scott McAfee.
Floyd’s attorneys, in a filing Monday, argued that his social media posts did not violate the conditions of his bond and accused prosecutors of a “retaliatory measure because he rejected the State’s plea offer,” and took other steps, such as subpoenaing Fulton County election records.
CNN has reached out to the Fulton County district attorney’s office for comment.
