House Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has claimed the Department of Justice and FBI “were planning to assassinate Pres [President] Trump” during the August 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago that recovered boxes full of classified documents that were being held by the former president.
It followed Trump’s claim on his Truth Social website that the DOJ “AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE” during the operation. However in a statement the FBI insisted it followed “standard protocol” during the operation which “includes a standard policy statement” on the use of force.
