Harrison Floyd was denied bond on Friday. A judge said he was a potential flight risk.

Floyd, who’s charged with racketeering, conspiracy and influencing a witness, turned himself in Thursday afternoon, ahead of Trump’s 20-minute appearance at the jail that evening.

Freeman had been falsely accused by Trump and his allies of election fraud.
