Trump documentary maker ‘has armed guards for protection’ after giving evidence to January 6 committee
- Britain’s Alex Holder said he has armed guards who follow him ‘everywhere’
- He said some believe he is ‘an undercover FBI agent, some think I’m an MI6 spy, there are all sorts of conspiracies and threats coming through’

A British documentary maker who filmed the Trump family in the lead-up to his 2020 election defeat told the BBC that two armed guards now travel with him for protection.
“My life changed about a week ago in that I now literally have two armed guards outside this studio right now that follow me around everywhere,” said Alex Holder during the interview on Wednesday.
Holder, who has testified to the House January 6 committee about hours of footage he shot before the election, said he has become the centre of conspiracy theories since giving evidence.
“Apparently, according to some, I’m an undercover FBI agent, some think I’m an MI6 spy,” Holder said. “There are all sorts of conspiracies and threats that are coming through.”

Holder released footage of former President Donald Trump talking about the 2020 election in Georgia. In the clip, then-President Trump describes Georgia’s secretary of state Brad Raffensperger and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, both Republicans, as “stupid people”.
Trump also appears to refer to the elections as “meaningless”.
