The Facts

  • Court filings released Tuesday show that the Department of Justice (DOJ) authorized FBI agents to use “deadly force” during their Aug. 8, 2022 raid of former Pres. Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in search of classified documents.

  • The newly unsealed filing contained an “operations order” which detailed how agents were allowed to conduct their raid and what they were allowed to bring. The DOJ says its line about deadly force is directly from its manual about use of force and is in line with common practices.


The Spin

The FBI’s over-the-top raid on Mar-a-Lago seemed unconstitutional and unfairly violent from the start, and the latest court filings show the extent Joe Biden’s DOJ was willing to go to take Pres. Trump out. From the beginning, the Biden regime, and Democratic Party at large, had been looking for ways to derail Trump’s inevitable 2024 re-election campaign, and it's clear that government agencies would have no problem resorting to deadly force. The media and security state will try to downplay this report, bu

It’s wholly unsurprising that Donald Trump would rashly make false claims to deceive the public and play victim after the recent court filings were unsealed. The FBI has already shown that the Mar-a-Lago search was conducted under standard DOJ protocols without any authorization of additional force. However, Trump is trying to manipulate standard documents to fit his victim agenda.
