In recently obtained bodycam footage from Maryland police officers, former Trump campaign aide Harrison Floyd can be seen expressing his dissatisfaction with the tactics employed by FBI agents during their encounter in 2020. This incident is part of a separate federal probe conducted by special counsel Jack Smith.
During an interview on "The Ingraham Angle," Floyd recounted how he was returning home with his daughter when individuals in suits resembling characters from the TV show "Better Call Saul" chased after him. Floyd claimed that the men never displayed credentials and he questioned their authority, asking, "Who the [expletive] do you think you are?"
Floyd, a Marine Corps veteran and MMA expert, also mentioned that one of the men had a pistol, prompting him to consider his response. However, Floyd's attorney, Chris Kachouroff, asserted that his client was falsely accused of body-slamming an agent, which was a misreported allegation. Kachouroff emphasized that the police report indicates Floyd as the victim.
Kachouroff, himself a former law enforcement officer, addressed the situation and pointed out that if Floyd had indeed touched an officer's nose or poked his cheek, as claimed in the police report, it would have likely resulted in a physical response from the authorities.
The attorney also criticized the FBI agents for not properly identifying themselves, especially since they were not in uniform. Kachouroff mentioned that plainclothes detectives often wear their badges as necklaces for the purpose of clear identification.
Floyd expressed his desire to press charges against the agents who approached him and his daughter aggressively, stating that their actions were not how a subpoena is typically served. The Maryland incident, which occurred on February 23, 2023, resulted in Floyd's arrest approximately 10 hours after he called the police.
According to Kachouroff, Maryland officials informed him that Floyd's state-level case was dismissed, but there is a possibility of federal indictment. The subpoena against Floyd includes a request for his contacts with Trump, the Trump White House, Trump's attorneys, and any relevant documents pertaining to potential contact with election workers involved in the lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani.
While Floyd has been charged under the Georgia RICO statute in Atlanta, he has not yet been indicted by Jack Smith. The case affidavit claimed that one of the FBI agents displayed their credentials, although Floyd allegedly did not look at them.
The developments surrounding Floyd's encounter with FBI agents have raised questions regarding law enforcement tactics and proper identification protocols. As the investigation continues, the incident serves as another example of the ongoing legal battles entangling individuals connected to the Trump campaign.
