Well it looks like Harrison Floyd has finally received a bond. As we previously reported, Floyd was the only one of the 19 people charged in the Fulton County RICO to spend time in jail.
According to The Atlanta Journal Constitution, Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee signed the bond order Tuesday afternoon, five days after Floyd turned himself in to be arrested at the Fulton County Jail. Attorney, Chris Kachouroff says he filed paperwork on Monday to represent Floyd and was contracted by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office to discuss a possible bond. Kachouroff claims his client only received a bond because the prosecutor “didn’t like the optics” of Floyd being the only one who had to stay in the slammer. “She was just letting him rot in there,” he said. “I told Harrison ‘this is ridiculous. She should have jumped in there and done the right thing.’”
Jeff DiSantis, Willis’ spokesman, strongly denied Kachouroff’s version of events. “Mr. Floyd has had the opportunity to work out a consent bond in the same manner as the other defendants named in the indictment, but chose not to do so until today,” he said.
Now your probably wondering how Floyd plans to pay his bond when earlier today footage showed him saying he couldn’t even afford to pay for an attorney. Well, a donation site that has reportedly been set up in his name stated that it had raised more than $275,000 by late Tuesday afternoon.
This whole investigation has been focused on allegations of election fraud and misconduct during the presidential election in Georgia three years ago, and according to the Washington Post, Trump faces 13 counts. They include violating the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, soliciting a public officer to violate their oath, conspiring to impersonate a public officer, conspiring to commit forgery in the first degree and conspiring to file false documents. It is a significant development in the ongoing legal battles surrounding the election. Trump’s legal team will now have to mount a defense against these charges, and the outcome of this case could have far-reaching consequences for both Trump and the American political landscape.
