Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis filed a motion Wednesday asking a judge to revoke the bond of Harrison Floyd, one of the 19 co-defendants in her RICO criminal election fraud case, for social media posts he allegedly made that she says amount to witness intimidation. If bond is revoked Floyd could spend time in jail.
Willis “said recent tweets tagging people like Brad Raffensperger, Gabe Sterling and Ruby Freeman amount to witness intimidation,” reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Tamar Hallerman.
Floyd’s “actions demonstrate that he poses a significant threat of intimidating witnesses and otherwise obstructing the administration of justice in the future, making him ineligible for bond,” Willis’ motion says.
It also alleges Floyd “has engaged in numerous intentional and flagrant violations of the conditions of release ordered by the Court.”

Willis writes Floyd “publicly tweeted multiple times … in an effort to intimidate codefendants and witnesses, to communicate directly and indirectly with codefendants and witnesses, and to otherwise obstruct the administration of justice.”
“On November 1, 2023, the Defendant tweeted the following to witnesses Brad Raffensperger and Gabriel Sterling and tagged their Twitter accounts,” Willis says, “which constituted an act to intimidate known witnesses and direct communication with known witnesses about the facts of the case, in violation of conditions of release.” The motion includes this screenshot:
Willis notes it was not just social media posts.
“On November 6, 2023, the Defendant participated in a video-recorded and widely disseminated interview on the Conservative Daily podcast. During the interview, the Defendant discussed the facts of this case and communicated indirectly to codefendant and witness Jenna Ellis by discussing her guilty plea, in violation of conditions of release,” it also alleges.
“The former head of Black Voices for Trump,” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, “was indicted for violating Georgia’s anti-racketeering law, conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements and writings and influencing witnesses. The charges stem from his interactions with Freeman, who was singled out by Trump, attorney Rudy Giuliani and others for her work counting votes at State Farm Arena.”
Fulton Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee will decide if Floyd should await trial in jail.
