Donald Trump Can't Hire Co-Defendant, Fani Willis Judge Rules

Source: Newsweek

Published Mar 14, 2024 at 2:55 PM EDT


Judge Scott McAfee, who is presiding over the sweeping election interference case against former President Donald Trump and his allies, is not allowing co-defendant Harrison Floyd to work for Trump's 2024 campaign.

McAfee denied Floyd's request to revise his bond agreement in a short order on Thursday. Floyd, who led Black Voices for Trump four years ago, asked the judge last month to loosen the conditions of his bond so that he could work on Trump's presidential campaign and speak about Trump on social media. McAfee had said, at the time, that he'd be open to modifications so that Floyd could speak about current events.

Floyd, who was indicted on three felony counts stemming from his efforts to help Trump overturn his loss in Georgia, is currently prohibited from having contact with the witnesses and other co-defendants in the case. He was also banned from speaking about them on social media after he posted comments that some witnesses interpreted as threatening.

Floyd, a senior campaign staffer for Trump's 2020 campaign, was indicted alongside the former president and 17 others for violating Georgia's racketeering laws in August. Floyd was also charged with influencing a witness and conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements. Trump and Floyd have both pleaded not guilty.

Of course Trump would hire this clown. After all, Trump likes those people who profess their love for him. I know this is true to a lesser extent for people in general but my gawd, Trump does like to go on and on about it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

How many were there? 3, 4, or 5 ??

No doubt this year they plan to use AI--
(oh wait, they already started that....)

Perhaps we should counter with a "Rural Rednecks for Biden" AI campaign!!!

OR, we can just use REAL people--- there ARE such rural Democrats who support President Biden, after all!

I think you need to glam it up for the tabloid media, speak the language they do, to get them to pay attention, though. How about Midwest Diner Patrons for Biden?
