One of the co-defendants in the racketeering case that includes Donald Trump out of Fulton County, may have his bail revoked.
According to a motion filed by District Attorney Fani Willis on Wednesday, Harrison Floyd should have his bail revoked because he gave interviews to conservative outlets discussing the specifics of the case.
"On November 6, 2023, the Defendant participated in a video-recorded and widely disseminated interview on the Conservative Daily [podcast]," the motion says. "During the interview, the Defendant discussed the facts of case and communicated indirectly to codefendant and witness Jenna Ellis by discussing her guilty plea, in violation of conditions of release."
The video of Floyd quotes him saying, "President Trump was underserved by people like her. People who would go into the Oval Office and tell him one thing and then behind his back they would do another ... I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a Harvard J.D. But guess who is? Jenna Ellis, right. She literally, if she truly believed everything that she was saying, she could have defended her own self. She didn’t need a quarter of a million dollars of people's hard-earned money to be raised offline. You know? And it doesn’t take a quarter of a million dollars to accept a plea deal either. Or to deny one. OK? So she just showed who she really is."
The video of Ellis' proffer was shared with the lawyers of the defendants, which was then leaked to the media by those associated with Floyd. While the judge made it clear on Wednesday that the leak wasn't against the court rules, it will be in the future.
Floyd disseminated his interview attacking Ellis across the internet, the motion states.
He then proceeded to go after possible witnesses in the trial, including former Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Gabriel Sterling, tagging their Twitter accounts, Willis says. The DA's office explained that it "constitutes an act to intimidate known witnesses and direct communication with known witnesses about the facts of the case in violation of conditions of release."
Floyd went on to attack Ellis as well as Dan Scavino, who Ellis referenced in her proffer statement to the DA. "Which constituted an act to intimidate a known codefendant and witnesses and direct communication with a known codefendant and witnesses about the facts of the case, in violation of conditions of release," the motion explained.
He then went after Sidney Powell in a post on social media, which also is against the release conditions, Willis argues.
Floyd then attacked witness Ruby Freeman online on several occasions. He allegedly tagged the DA in the tweets that were against the conditions of his bail.
