[Federalist] If a court rules that she did, her entire case crumbles and would leave her and Fulton County vulnerable to a multimillion-dollar lawsuit. A motion filed in the Fulton County "election interference" case against Donald Trump and 18 codefendants, also known as "The Fulton 19," hasn’t garnered much attention but has the potential to upend the entire case.
Meet Harrison Floyd. He fought for his country as a marine, interned at the Heritage Foundation, was a senior staff member on President Trump’s 2020 campaign, and led a nationwide effort known as "Black Voices for Trump." He is also one of the defendants indicted last year, along with President Trump, by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Floyd was charged with a violation of Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) statute, "solicitation of false statements and writings," and "influencing a witness," stemming from contact he had with Fulton County temporary election worker Ruby Freeman.
In December of 2020, Floyd heard Freeman was seeking assistance. Unable to go to Atlanta himself, Floyd asked publicist Trevian Kutti, who at the time was working for Sen. David Purdue’s reelection campaign, to speak with Freeman. Following allegations that Freeman had introduced suitcases of illegal ballots and committed other acts of election fraud, she became wary of strangers. So when Kutti and Garrison Douglas, director of communications for the Georgia Republican Party, came to her home, she called the Cobb County police and asked them to arrange a meeting. The Georgia Record reports that on the 911 call, and in person with the police present, Freeman "asked for the meeting to see what help [Kutti] could provide to her, to clear her name, to report on the coverup by the GA SOS [Georgia Secretary of State] and FBI, and to blow the whistle on improper ballot scanning and improper use of USB Ports by Fulton County election employees that occurred in and after the 2020 elections." |
