Hearing scheduled next week in Georgia election interference case

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — All 19 defendants named in an indictment alleging that they interfered in Georgia’s 2020 election interference have surrendered at the Fulton County Jail.

Of the 19, only one remains in jail. Harrison Floyd did not have a pre-negotiated bond before turning himself in on Thursday. In a Friday bond hearing, a judge denied Floyd’s bond and he remains in the jail.

So, what comes next?
