A co-defendant in Donald Trump's Georgia election fraud case can remain free until trial, a judge has ruled, rejecting a plea that he be jailed for an alleged "pattern of intimidation".
Prosecutors wanted bail revoked for Harrison Floyd, ex-head of Black Voices for Trump, over his social media posts.
Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Mr Floyd did technically violate his bond, but said the deal should be modified.
Mr Floyd and the ex-US president are among 19 who were charged in the case.
On Tuesday, Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee said that Mr Floyd's bond agreement should be updated to reflect the "nuances of social media".
"I think the ultimate result of today's hearing is that it's very clear to me that this bond needs to be modified," he said.
Lawyers for Mr Floyd, 39, argued that prosecutors were trying to silence his freedom of speech. They said their client would willingly "tone it down" if the judge asked him to do so.
He was initially jailed following his arrest in August, but released after five days when a judge granted him bail.
