Biden Allowed DOJ To Do What To Trump?
This is absolutely insane!
In August 2022, the Biden administration allowed the FBI to use deadly force if necessary during their raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. This action was part of an investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents, according to court records.
An FBI spokesperson stated that the agency followed its usual procedures for search warrants, which includes established guidelines on the use of deadly force. The spokesperson clarified that no special directives were issued for this operation.
Documents from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified materials revealed that the goal of the Mar-a-Lago raid was to retrieve classified information, national defense information, and U.S. government records, as specified in the search warrant.
The operational order for the raid included a policy on the use of deadly force, indicating that Department of Justice law enforcement officers are allowed to use deadly force when necessary.
Court documents also noted that DOJ and FBI agents were prepared with standard issue weapons, ammunition, handcuffs, and bolt cutters of various sizes. They were instructed to wear unmarked polo or collared shirts and to keep their law enforcement gear concealed.
In response to these developments, Trump, who was attending a criminal trial in New York City related to an investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg into alleged business record falsifications, voiced his outrage. On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump accused President Biden’s DOJ of authorizing the use of deadly force during the Mar-a-Lago raid, calling it illegal and unconstitutional. He also asserted that President Biden is a significant threat to democracy and questioned his mental fitness for office.
Trump has been charged with 37 felony counts from Smith’s investigation, including willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and making false statements. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Additionally, a superseding indictment has added three more charges, including another count of willful retention of national defense information and two counts of obstruction, to which Trump also pleaded not guilty.
The trial, initially set to begin on May 20, has been postponed indefinitely by Judge Aileen Cannon of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
