Merrick Garland blasts Trump claims about FBI's Mar-a-Lago search
Attorney General Merrick Garland rejected former President Donald Trump's claim that the Biden administration authorized the FBI to use deadly force against him during a search of his Mar-a-Lago property for classified documents.
Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday rejected former President Donald Trump's claim that the Biden administration authorized the FBI to use deadly force against him during a search of his Mar-a-Lago property for classified documents.
"That allegation is false, and it is extremely dangerous," Garland said at a news conference.
Garland was responding to Trump’s writing this week on Truth Social that he had been shown reports indicating “that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE.”
The Trump campaign made a similar claim in a fundraising email that alleged “Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out.”
Trump was in New Jersey when the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, his home in Palm Beach, Florida.
