In a startling revelation, a video has surfaced capturing a tense encounter between FBI agents and Harrison Floyd, a 2020 Trump campaign aide. The incident occurred during an attempt to serve Floyd with a secret grand jury subpoena as part of a federal investigation led by Special Counsel Jack Smith into Donald Trump’s alleged election subversion.
Tense Confrontation Unveiled
The bodycam footage obtained by POLITICO through a public records request showcases a heated exchange between Floyd, a Marine Corps veteran, and the FBI agents. Floyd admitted to considering grabbing one of the agents’ guns during the confrontation. The incident raises questions about the intensity surrounding Smith’s probe into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Details of Secret Subpoena
The video reveals details of a previously undisclosed grand jury subpoena, shedding light on the direction and staffing of Smith’s investigation. The subpoena, signed by assistant special counsel Jonathan Haray, demanded records of Floyd’s contacts with Trump and the Trump administration. It notably sought documents related to Floyd’s interactions with two Georgia election workers targeted by Trump and Rudy Giuliani, Ruby Freeman, and Shaye Moss.
Insights into Smith’s Probe
The presence of Haray on Smith’s team, along with the subpoena’s focus on the harassment of Georgia election workers, offers new insights into the broader investigation. Smith, who indicted Trump in August, seems to be delving into the conspiracy theories surrounding Freeman and Moss.
Escalation to Assault Charges
While Floyd has not been charged in Smith’s case against Trump, he faces criminal charges in the separate Georgia probe over election interference. The video also captures Floyd’s account of allegedly assaulting an FBI agent during the subpoena attempt.
