The primary defendant in the wide-reaching conspiracy case related to the 2020 election, Donald Trump’s former Black Voices for Trump director, Harrison Floyd, has been charged with assaulting an FBI agent. Floyd, along with 18 other individuals including Trump himself, turned themselves in at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta on suspicions of conspiring to overturn the election. Specifically, Floyd faces charges of conspiracy to solicit false statements, influencing witnesses, and violating the state’s RICO Act. While all other defendants have posted bond, Floyd remains in jail due to the absence of a prearranged bond. His attorney, Carlos Salvado, has not yet responded to requests for comment.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Floyd has faced legal trouble. Six months ago, he was accused of assaulting an FBI agent who was serving him a subpoena at his Maryland home. The agents attempted to hand Floyd the subpoena in person, but he refused to accept it and displayed aggressive behavior, including yelling obscenities and allegedly striking one of the agents. Floyd was subsequently arrested and charged with simple assault on a federal officer.
The purpose of the subpoena in question was not disclosed in the complaint, although it coincided with special counsel Jack Smith’s office subpoenaing various individuals for documents and testimony related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Floyd called 911 following the altercation with the agents, falsely claiming that they had accosted him. When police officers arrived, Floyd expressed distrust towards the agents and refused to touch the subpoena left on the ground. He also admitted to considering retrieving a weapon from his kitchen to defend himself. Both agents denied any physical contact with Floyd, and an audio recording of the encounter supported their claims. Floyd was ultimately arrested and charged with second-degree assault, but was subsequently released.
In the Trump indictment, Floyd is implicated in attempting to influence former poll worker Ruby Freeman, who refused to alter the election results in favor of Trump. This resulted in harassment by Trump’s associates and a pro-Trump mob. Floyd, along with Trevian Kutti, a onetime publicist for the artist formerly known as Kanye West, visited Freeman’s home and offered her protection in exchange for cooperation. They reportedly tried to get Freeman to implicate herself in voter fraud and warned her that she could face jail time if she did not comply.
To summarize, Harrison Floyd, the sole defendant currently held without bond in the election conspiracy case involving Donald Trump, has been charged with assaulting an FBI agent. He also faces separate charges for influencing witnesses and violating the RICO Act. Floyd had previously been accused of assaulting an FBI agent serving him a subpoena. Furthermore, he is implicated in attempts to pressure poll worker Ruby Freeman to change the election results. The investigation into these allegations continues, and Floyd remains in custody.
