TL;DR Summary

Harrison Floyd, one of Donald Trump's co-defendants in a Georgia election-fraud case, remains in jail after telling a judge that he cannot afford a private attorney and was denied bond. Floyd stated that he did not qualify for a public defender and could not afford the cost of retaining a private lawyer. The reason for his denial of public representation is unclear. Floyd, who is accused of participating in a scheme to pressure an election worker to falsely admit to voting fraud, will remain in a jail that is under investigation for violence and unsanitary conditions. Trump and the other defendants in the case have already posted bond.
