Harrison Floyd was denied bond on Friday. A judge said he was a potential flight risk.

Floyd, who’s charged with racketeering, conspiracy and influencing a witness, turned himself in Thursday afternoon, ahead of Trump’s 20-minute appearance at the jail that evening. Prosecutors allege that Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump and the only Black man among the defendants, was part of a scheme to pressure election worker Ruby Freeman into making false statements. Freeman had been falsely accused by Trump and his allies of election fraud.

    He’s about to find out what the justice system means for black guys. The only defendant denied bail? Ha yeah, dudes fucked.

    The judge just feels like he’s lying. They should be having an evidentiary hearing to determine if he does have the means or not. You usually have to fill out a financial form for the court.
