Georgia Judge Denies Revoking Bond for Trump Co-Defendant Harrison Floyd Despite Witness Comments

TL;DR Summary
A Georgia judge has refused to revoke the bond of Harrison Floyd, one of Donald Trump's co-defendants in the election racketeering case, despite prosecutors' claims that his social media posts about witnesses were threatening and intimidating. The judge ruled that while some comments may have been technical violations of the bond agreement, they did not warrant revoking the bond. Floyd's lawyers argued that his posts were protected political speech and did not contain any threats. The bond argument highlights the issue of what defendants can say about pending cases, as Trump appeals gag orders in two other trials he faces.
