Harrison Floyd is one of Donald Trump's many co-defendants in the Georgia election racketeering case -- and he's also been sparring with the judge presiding over his case for breaking the terms of his bond.
In November, Judge Scott A. McAfee was asked to revoke Floyd's bond when he posted a series of social media comments the judge agreed intimidated and threatened witnesses.
However, "technical" violations don’t always warrant revoking bail, the judge explained. Instead, he placed further conditions on Harrison that meant he could stay out of jail so long as he kept to them.
In February, Floyd requested that Judge McAfee readjust the bond agreement they changed in November.

Floyd led Black Voices for Trump during the 2020 election, and he wants to go work for Trump's 2024 campaign, but his bond requires that he stay off of social media. He asked McAfee to allow him to use the platform X to discuss work unrelated to the case.
Floyd faces three charges, the Washington Post reported in Oct. 2023. They're primarily about his alleged role in attacking Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, two women who were election workers in Atlanta, who became a target of Trump allies, particularly Rudy Giuliani.
Giuliani has since lost a defamation lawsuit from the women and was ordered to pay such a hefty sum that he's already filed for bankruptcy.
Floyd was also charged earlier in 2023 with attacking an F.B.I. agent working on the 2020 election case at the Justice Department. It further complicated his bond negotiations, the Post reported.
Floyd has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
