According to a newly unsealed court filing<\/a>, federal agents were prepared to use deadly force during the Mar-a-Lago raid. Agents planned to bring standard issue weapons, ammunition, handcuffs, and bolt cutters. However, instead of looking like federal agents, they were told to wear unmarked polo or collared shirts. They were also instructed to keep their law enforcement equipment concealed.<\/p>\n

From the Daily Mail:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the former president’s motion challenging the legality of the FBI’s raid filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the filing notes an ‘Operation Order’ produced in discovery which contained a ‘Policy Statement’ regarding ‘Use of Deadly Force.’<\/p>\n

The filing says the Order states ‘for example, “Law enforcement officers with the Department of Justice may use deadly force when necessary…”‘<\/p>\n

It also says ‘the agents planned to bring “Standard Issue Weapon[s],” “Ammo,” “Handcuffs,” and “medium and large sized bolt cutters,” but they were instructed to wear “unmarked polo or collared shirts” and to keep “law enforcement equipment concealed.'”<\/p>\n

The agents started the raid around 9am on August 8, 2022 and stayed until around 6:40pm.<\/p>\n

Trump’s legal team argued that the raid of Mar-a-Lago was unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday evening, Trump posted on Truth Social after leaving criminal court in New York he ‘was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional [sic] Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE.’<\/p>\n

He also sent out a fundraising email with the subject line ‘They were authorized to shoot me!’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
