Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday responded to claims about FBI agents being authorized to use deadly force during the search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022.
In response to the FBI development, which was revealed in court documents this week, President Trump’s campaign said in an alert that the Department of Justice (DOJ) was “locked and loaded” and “ready to take me out” because the FBI was authorized to “use deadly force” during the raid. He was referring to a “Law Enforcement Operations Order” that was released as part of the tranche of court documents regarding FBI agents’ capabilities during the search.
