Footage captured on police bodycam of Harrison Floyd being arrested in February following a physical confrontation with FBI agents attempting to serve him a grand jury subpoena was released publicly following a records request by POLITICO.

The 2020 Trump campaign aide, a co-defendant in Donald Trump's Georgia election subversion case, told local Maryland police officers at his doorstep that he had just dropped off his daughter and that he didn't see any badge flashed.

“If he reached up, I probably could have tried to stop the muzzle, but he would have definitely threw my hand,” Floyd is heard recounting to the Rockville Police officers, who showed up on Feb. 23, 2023, after he placed the 911 call to report armed men entering into his building, according to the footage. ...

Trump's sucking up much of the oxygen inside a Georgia courtroom, even when he's not physically there.

Harrison Floyd was seated in a Fulton County courtroom for a hearing to determine if he he violated his bond terms.

He was watching while DA Fani Willis stood at the lectern blaming Floyd, executive director of Black Voices For Trump, for flagrantly ignoring some of the terms of his release....

Harrison Floyd, the former leader of Black Voices for Trump and a co-defendant in the Georgia election racketeering case, was in court today over a violation of bond — and while he escaped pretrial detention for now, that's almost certainly in his future.

At least, that's the view of legal expert Katie Phang, who explained the new developments on Tuesday's edition of MSNBC's "The ReidOut."

"You've been in that courtroom a lot. Please talk to us," said anchor Joy Reid. "First of all, the fact that Fani Willis is there in person making these arguments, and the fact that it seemed that Harrison Floyd did not respect the process. He seemed to pop off and shake his head and not take it seriously. Your thoughts?"...

Donald Trump's allies have begun a smear campaign against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis despite dire warnings from fellow Republicans, according to a new report.

Several Georgia conservatives have begun badmouthing Willis, the prosecutor leading the charge against Trump in the state’s election racketeering case, at conservative events raising funds to cover co-defendants’ legal fees, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

At a recent event, David Shafer, a Trump elector and RICO case co-defendant, called the 2020 election a “dumpster fire” and GOP chair Josh McKoon accused Willis of “election interference.”...

Confidential 2020 election records subpoenaed by a co-defendant in Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case cannot be publicly disclosed, a judge ruled Friday.

Fulton County District Court Judge Scott McAfee's order came in response to Harrison Floyd’s request, made at a Nov. 3 hearing, court records show. It means he has access to the records, but they cannot be shared outside of his legal team.

Floyd — the Black Voices for Trump leader accused of harassing a Georgia poll worker in an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election — demanded election records that conspiracy theorists believe prove Trump won, according to the records....

Harrison Floyd, the former director of "Black Voices for Trump" and the only one of former president Donald Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia election racketeering trial to be briefly held in jail pending trial, may find himself headed back to jail as a judge is considering revoking his bond for improperly contacting a witness. But he's not taking it lying down, raging about it on social media.

He would do well to stop talking before it hurts him further, argued former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance on Thursday's edition of MSNBC's "The ReidOut."

"His response ... is one part comical and seemingly not helpful," said anchor Joy Reid. "If I was his attorney — and I'm not an attorney — I don't know that I would be happy about it. Here's what he tweeted in response to the motion to revoke his bond. 'Clarence Thomas was right. This is a circus. It is a national disgrace. It is a high-tech lynching for an uppity black.' And he included video of Clarence Thomas in 1991 Senate Judiciary Committee."...
