COVINGTON, Georgia (PNN) - August 16, 2021 - A team of 40 FBI agents held an 11 year-old at gunpoint while raiding her family's Georgia home during a probe into the Capitol riots.

The agents - who arrived in four armored vehicles - descended on the property about five miles north of Covington in Newton County on August 10, according to the girl's father Donnie Hyatt.

Hyatt and his wife are said to have links to a far-Right militia leader called Chris Hill, and attended the January 6 Stop the Steal rally in Washington DC. They insist they did not join in the subsequent storming of the Capitol building.

Hyatt said he was in his car on his long driveway when the agents came to raid the property around 7:00 am, and says electronics and communications devices including phones as well as computers were seized.

“They had my 11-year-old daughter at gunpoint,” he said.

The agents' laser sights were aimed at her, he said, and she is pretty shaken by the experience. “She still shakes when she talks about it.”

While the agents had a warrant to converge upon the property, Hyatt said that it was for a sealed investigation, and that they did not divulge many details to the frightened residents.

Members of the FBI refused to provide comment.

Fascist agents confiscated cellphones, computers, and even his daughter's tablet. “They took basically every electronic device in my house,” said Hyatt.

He said that he believes the election was stolen from Trump and that the rioters were acting out of frustration, but said that he thought it was a really dumb decision for thousands of protesters to storm the Capitol.

“I understand why they did it,” he said. “I'm still angry about (the election). I'm angry about how I'm being treated.”
