Former President Donald Trump is currently facing 40 felony counts for allegedly mishandling top-secret documents that were taken to his estate after he left office. Despite the allegations, he vehemently denies all charges brought against him.
According to a recently unsealed filing, law enforcement officers of the Department of Justice have the authority to use deadly force when necessary.
The FBI quickly responded to the allegations of wrongdoing and stated that its agents had followed standard protocol during the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
“The FBI adhered to standard protocol during this search, as we do for all search warrants. This includes implementing a standard policy statement that restricts the use of deadly force,” the statement explained.
The trial of Mr. Trump’s classified documents in Florida was put on hold indefinitely earlier this month due to the numerous pre-trial motions that still needed to be addressed, according to the judge.
