The Harrison Floyd Tweets That Sparked Fani Willis' Concerns

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has accused Harrison Floyd of trying to intimidate potential witnesses in former President Donald Trump's election interference case and has asked a judge to revoke his bond after he posted a series of tweets.

Willis is leading the criminal racketeering case against Trump in Georgia over his alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 41 counts, including racketeering, violating the oath of a public officer, perjury, forgery and false statements. He has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

Floyd, a former leader of Black Voices for Trump, is one of the former president's 18 co-defendants and is facing three charges accusing him of being involved in a harassment campaign targeting an Atlanta election worker, Ruby Freeman, by trying to force her to make false statements about election operations. He has pleaded not guilty.

As Floyd did not have an attorney and did not negotiate terms of bond before turning himself in August 24, he had to spend five days in jail following the charges. He was released on $100,000 bond, pending a trial that is not yet scheduled.

Willis said that since his release, Floyd has engaged in numerous intentional and flagrant violations of his bond agreement, which bars him from communicating directly or indirectly with or intimidating co-defendants or potential witnesses involved in the case.

Newsweek has reached out to Willis and Floyd via social media for comment.

In a motion filed with the court, Willis cited his social media posts and broadcast interviews.

In one post on X, formerly Twitter, on November 1, Floyd tagged Brad Raffensperger, Georgia's secretary of state, and Gabriel Sterling, chief operating officer in the office, both of whom are witnesses in the case. Floyd appeared to imply they were lying about the case.

On November 6, Floyd tweeted a link to an interview he gave to the Conservative Daily Podcast in which he discussed Jenna Ellis' guilty plea. Ellis is one of Trump's former lawyers and another co-defendant and witness in the case who recently reached a plea deal.

On November 7, Floyd tagged Raffensperger and Sterling twice, with one X post saying "WE WANT THE TRUTH" and another referring to them as feces.

On November 8, he tagged Raffensperger in an X post, saying he should "call his lawyer."

On November 13, he tagged Ellis and another witness, Dan Scavino. He called Ellis "a whole mess" in response to her interview with prosecutors before she reached a plea deal, and said she was lying about Scavino. She had alleged in the interview that Scavino, Trump's former deputy chief of staff, said to her in December 2020 that "the boss" didn't plan to leave the White House "under any circumstances," regardless of the results of the 2020 election.

On the same day, he posted an interview clip of another co-defendant, one of Trump's former lawyers, Sidney Powell, who also accepted a plea deal.

On November 14, he tweeted about Freeman, appearing to accuse her of racism. On the same day, he also posted five tweets with audio he said was of Freeman.

In two additional tweets made further commentary about Freeman.

Willis said Freeman "has been a frequent target of the Defendant's intimidating communications" and said that because of the "intimidating communications" she "has been the subject of renewed threats of violence from third parties."

Newsweek has reached out to Freeman on LinkedIn for comment.

Floyd also faces federal charges accusing him of aggressively confronting two FBI agents sent to serve him with a grand jury subpoena.
