Video shows 'aftermath' of 'heated' exchange between Trump co-defendant and FBI agents: report

Politico released body camera footage Thursday of Harrison Floyd — one of 16 Donald Trump Georgia co-defendants — recounting to police officers a "tense confrontation" he'd just had with FBI agents "who were trying to serve a subpoena" in February 2023.

Obtained through a public records request, Politico reports, the two-minute footage "shows the aftermath of a heated encounter between Floyd and two FBI agents dispatched by [special counsel Jack] Smith. In the video, a winded, bare-chested Floyd complains to police in Rockville, Maryland, that he has just been accosted by a pair of men who pursued him into his apartment building. One flashed a gun, prompting Floyd — a Marine Corps veteran and mixed martial arts fighter who saw combat in the Iraq War — to consider wrestling it away, Floyd says in the video."

Politico reports, "Floyd's alleged assault on the two FBI agents seeking to serve the subpoena, and some of his interactions with the Rockville police officers responding to his 911 call, were reported by the Washington Post in August, citing records of a charge of assault of an officer filed against Floyd in federal court in Greenbelt, Maryland, about a week after the incident. However, the bodycam video provides new details on the episode, as well as more of Floyd’s account of what happened."

The former Black Voice for Trump leader, according to the report, "told the Rockville officers that he initially fled the approaching FBI agents because he didn’t see their credentials and thought they might have been reporters or 'antifa' attackers. He said they approached him as he was carrying his 2-year-old daughter, having just returned from a swim lesson across the road."

Floyd said, "They were f**kig relentless."

Per the report, "The confrontation itself was not captured on the video, and it’s not clear why it apparently escalated into a heated altercation. What is clear is that, on Feb. 23, 2023, the FBI agents were attempting to serve Floyd with a grand jury subpoena as part of Smith’s federal investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election."

The news outlet reports:

Grand jury subpoenas are not typically public. But in the bodycam video, one of the Rockville officers who answered Floyd’s 911 call can be seen holding up the subpoena and leafing through each page, with the text visible.

The subpoena demanded all records of Floyd's contacts with Trump, the Trump administration and lawyers working on Trump’s behalf. More notably, it asked for all documents 'relating to any planned or actual contact' with two Georgia election workers who became targets of conspiracy theories fomented by Trump and one of his top 2020 lawyers, Rudy Giuliani.

Politico notes, "The status of the federal assault-on-an-officer charge against Floyd is unclear. The public docket of the case remains open, but reflects no substantive action or hearings since May."
