which has not been previously reported, offers new information about the breadth of the federal probe led by special counsel Jack Smith, who has charged former presidentIt could also complicate any bail agreement for Floyd in Fulton County, where District Attorney Fani T. Willis has said he and the 18 others indicted on state-level charges last week — a group that includes Trump — must surrender by Friday or risk being arrested.
. The charges stem from his alleged efforts alongside a professional publicist and a preacher to pressure a local election worker, Ruby Freeman, into falsely confessing to election crimes that she did not commit. Freeman was the target of repeated lies by Trump and his supporters in the days and weeks after the 2020 election. The former president mentioned her 18 times in a phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan.
After allegedly attacking the agent in February, Floyd was arrested by local police, according to the affidavit. He was charged by federal authorities in May. Under conditions set by the federal magistrate, Floyd was ordered to surrender his passport and was barred from possessing weapons.The agents went to the apartment complex, in a suburb of Washington, after Floyd’s in-laws told agents where he lived.
One offered to discuss the subpoena with him and answer questions, adding, “We’re really sorry to bother you.”
