Georgia judge urged to quash Trump co-defendant's mountain of subpoenas

Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee has scheduled a hearing to examine the validity of various subpoenas filed by attorneys for Harrison Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump, a co-defendant in the Georgia election racketeering case.

According to Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Tamar Hallerman, "In recent weeks, Floyd's attorneys have issued a flurry of requests ... Among their asks: images of all absentee ballots cast in Fulton County in the 2020 prez election and their envelopes + reports from Dominion, which makes GA's voting machines" — and attorneys for all of the agencies holding this information want McAfee to quash these subpoenas as inappropriate.

This comes after three key co-defendants in the Georgia case — bail bondsman Scott Hall and attorney Sidney Powell, who were accused of a plot to illegally breach voting equipment in Coffee County, and attorney Kenneth Chesebro, who gave former President Donald Trump a memo outlining how to execute the fake electors plot — accepted plea deals with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

Floyd, who was the only one of Trump's co-defendants to be briefly detained after booking, is accused of influencing witnesses and soliciting false statements.

He allegedly tried to coerce a false confession of voter fraud out of Atlanta election worker Ruby Freeman, who was targeted by a bevy of conspiracy theories after Rudy Giuliani falsely claimed she and her daughter were stuffing ballots from a briefcase.

As he was bailed out of jail, Floyd has been defiant, proclaiming that Willis was a "devil" who is orchestrating a "cover-up."
