Floyd is the only one of Trump's 18 Georgia co-defendants to have been denied bail after a judge deemed him to be a flight risk.
and has described the case against him as a"witch hunt" and"election interference" on his Truth Social website.
Floyd, the director of campaign group Black Voices for Trump, is facing charges of conspiracy to commit solicitation of false statements and writings, influencing witnesses and violating Georgia's RICO Act.
Richardson concluded there were"grounds for the bond to be denied at this point" as she believed there was a danger Floyd would"commit additional felonies and potential risk to flee the jurisdiction." On Saturday morning, a legal fundraiser for Floyd, hosted on crowdfunding site GiveSendGo, exceeded $100,000 out of a target of $200,000. As of 12:00 p.m. ET, some $118,592 had been given by 2,554 donors. In an update, Dominion Law Center, which is running the crowd funder, said it plans to go before a judge on Monday in a bid to secure bail for Floyd.
It said:"Yesterday, at Harrison's initial hearing where no lawyer was present, the judge denied bond because she said he was a flight risk. We do not believe the judge was correct because Harrison voluntarily traveled from Maryland to Georgia to turn himself in. We will be filing pleadings on Monday to rectify this situation in front of the assigned judge, Judge Scott McAfee."
