WASHINGTON: Donald Trump and some of his staunchest allies are claiming newly unsealed court filings reveal that US President Joe Biden authorised federal agents to kill him during the FBI’s 2022 raid of the former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate in search of classified documents.
This is false; the allegations misrepresent the Justice Department’s standard policies regarding how force can be used during law enforcement operations.“Biden’s DOJ was authorised to shoot me!” says a May 21, 2022 fundraising email from Trump’s 2024 campaign. “Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger.”
Similar claims reverberated across social media, amplified by some of the former president’s loudest supporters in Congress and the media.Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on X that “the Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to assassinate Pres Trump and gave the green light,” while her colleague, Paul Gosar, asserted that “Biden ordered the hit on Trump at Mar-a-Lago.”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a press briefing after the search was executed that Biden and the White House were “not aware” and “not given a heads up” that it was happening, citing the independence of the Justice Department .
