Harrison Floyd, a co-defendant in the Georgia election interference case involving former President Donald Trump, has issued a solid ultimatum for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, threatening legal action if she does not recuse herself from the case by Monday noon.
In a social media post, Floyd, the former head of Black Voices for Trump, raised concerns about Willis’ handling of the case, suggesting potential misconduct related to illegal wiretapping.
He referenced an alleged recording of a conversation between Willis and Floyd’s attorney in an unrelated criminal case in Maryland, which Willis’ office reportedly shared.

Floyd pointed out that recording without consent from both parties could violate the Maryland Wiretap Act, which carries severe penalties, including imprisonment and fines. His attorney, Christopher Kachouroff, echoed similar sentiments during discussions with the media.
Floyd’s incarceration, albeit temporary, has heightened tensions in the case. He was released on a $100,000 bond after spending time in jail.
Recently, Trump and his co-defendants filed a motion with the state court of appeals to challenge a judge’s decision allowing Willis to remain on the case. The judge ruled that Willis could continue if the lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade, with whom she had a romantic relationship, stepped down. Wade resigned following the ruling.

Despite allegations of financial benefits and lavish vacations, the judge deemed the evidence insufficient to prove a conflict of interest, although he acknowledged an “appearance of impropriety.” In their appeal, the defense cited Willis’ out-of-court statements and alleged forensic misconduct as grounds for disqualification from the case.
Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, maintains his innocence against charges of unlawfully attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election result in Georgia. The case continues to draw attention despite ongoing legal battles and political implications.
