One of Donald Trump’s co-defendants in a wide-ranging election-fraud case in Georgia remained behind bars on Friday, after he told a judge that he could not afford a private attorney to represent him and was denied bond.
Harrison Floyd said at his first court appearance that he could not afford a private lawyer and had been denied representation by a public defender because he did not qualify.
Floyd, who appeared virtually, said that it typically cost between $40,000 to $100,000 just to retain a private lawyer to fly to Georgia.

Are there no lawyers IN Georgia??
Also important to note this guy assaulted an FBI agent and is considered at risk to continue committing crimes, a major reason he was denied bond and is currently in jail awaiting trial
I don’t want to diminish what this guy did. But let’s remember that people died and were hurt that day as a result of what these 19 assholes did. They all should be in jail without bond.
Absolutely
Don’t you have to use a lawyer licensed in Georgia? Maybe he got thrown in jail for being an idiot.
Obviously he got thrown in jail for being an idiot. No other poor person would help Trump.
This headline is technically true, but it’s complete bullshit in it’s implications.
The judge said the reason she denied bail is because he is considered a flight risk and a risk for continuing to commit crimes.
So is Donnie
Its* implications
IT IS IMPLICATIONS
Ha, ha. Get fucked traitor.
You’d think if this was such an outrageous miscarriage of justice, some lawyer would take up the case pro bono.
Heck, even for the publicity.
He’s been hoping Trump or his PAC would hire him a lawyer. But he’s probably better off getting an independent Georgia lawyer, without conflicts of interest, who will help him flip for a deal. I’m not sure how Trump et al haven’t considered this, not to mention how it looks leaving the black guy in prison.
How it looks leaving the black guy in prison? Looks exactly right to their supporters.
Guy doesn’t own private jet or means to escape the country - denied bail might be a flight risk
I’m super curious as to why he didn’t qualify for a public defender.
