Biden DOJ authorized FBI to use ‘deadly force’ if needed during raid of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate

Court documents revealed that a paramedic was brought along in case emergency care was required and that the more than 30 agents who stormed the property were equipped with bolt cutters, firearms, handcuffs, and other items.

Recently unsealed court documents indicate U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland authorized FBI agents to use “deadly force” in their raid of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022.

The stunning revelation was made public earlier this week during discovery in special counsel Jack Smith’s political witch hunt against the former president for his alleged mishandling of classified documents.

Trump, who has been stuck in a New York courtroom trying to clear his name in a lawsuit brought forth by a George Soros-backed attorney general over past business practices, slammed Joe Biden on Truth Social in response.

“WOW! I just came out of the Biden Witch Hunt Trial in Manhattan, the “Icebox,” and was shown Reports that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE,” Trump wrote.

“NOW WE KNOW, FOR SURE, THAT JOE BIDEN IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. HE IS MENTALLY UNFIT TO HOLD OFFICE — 25TH AMENDMENT!” he added.

Trump allies in Congress, the media, and his re-election campaign were equally up in arms.

“I’ve been a part of executing multiple search warrants. Nothing about this was standard. It was a siege by land, by sea, by air,” Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General and Trump surrogate, told Fox News.

GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene posted on X that she believes “the Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to assassinate President Trump.”

“Every FBI operations order contains a reminder of FBI deadly force policy. Even for a search warrant,” former FBI Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi shared on X.

If true, then the agency’s storming of the house of pro-life father of seven, Mark Houck, was also subject to the use of deadly force.

At present, the Justice Departments website states that “Law enforcement officers and correctional officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person.”

The policy was last updated in July 2022.

The raid on Trump’s property took place in August 2022. It was approved by federal judge Bruce Reinhart, who in the 2000s left his job as an assistant U.S. attorney to represent accomplices in Jeffrey Epstein’s 2008 sex trafficking case.

Trump’s son, Eric, told Fox News at the time of the raid that “my father has worked so collaboratively with (the federal government) for months. In fact, the lawyer that’s been working on this was totally shocked.”

The court documents further reveal that a paramedic was brought along in case emergency care was required. They also show that the more than 30 agents who stormed the property were equipped with bolt cutters, firearms, handcuffs, and other items.

Upon entering, they raided former First Lady Melania Trump’s room, Donald Trump’s personal safe, and Barron Trump’s living quarters, among other places. No one in the Trump family was at Mar-a-Lago at the time.

Investigative reporter Julie Kelly described the situation as “mind blowing.”

“Agents were also prepared to go door to door to terrorize Mar-a-Lago guests if staff refused to turn over room keys,” she stated on her Substack page.

Kelly has previously written for right-leaning websites American Greatness and The Federalist, among others.

Conservative pundit Mollie Hemmingway, also of The Federalist, drew attention to The Washington Post’s report that two senior FBI agents who were involved in the raid viewed it as “too combative” and that they wanted to “seek Trump’s permission to search his property” instead.

 

Hemmingway published a satirical post on X noting the absurdity of the depths the Biden administration has sunk to in order to persecute Trump.

“‘It is standard policy to authorize shooting our Republican political opponent when we raid his home for no good reason after running the Russia collusion hoax and other scams.’— Biden DOJ,” she said.

Former Trump adviser Roger Stone posted on X images from the FBI’s raid on his own Florida residence in 2019.

Germany launches first permanent foreign troop deployment since WW2

Quick Hit:

Germany activated a 5,000-strong armored brigade in Lithuania — marking its first permanent foreign military deployment since World War II. The move strengthens NATO’s eastern flank amid Ukraine’s ongoing conflict with Russia.

Key Details:

  • The 45th Armored Brigade was formally launched outside Vilnius on Tuesday.
  • Germany plans for the brigade to be fully operational by 2027 in Rūdninkai, near the Belarus border.
  • The deployment marks a major policy shift for Berlin and a boost for NATO’s deterrence posture.

Diving Deeper:

Germany has officially entered a new era of military engagement, launching its first permanent foreign troop deployment since the end of World War II. The move, announced Tuesday, sees the activation of a 5,000-strong armored brigade in Lithuania as part of a broader NATO strategy to counter the perceived threat from Russia.

The newly formed 45th Armored Brigade was ceremonially inaugurated outside the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius. German Brigadier General Christoph Huber assumed command, overseeing the establishment of a temporary headquarters and unveiling the unit’s crest. “We have a clear mission: to ensure the protection, freedom and security of our Lithuanian allies on NATO’s eastern flank,” Huber said, adding that the unit’s presence also directly contributes to the defense of Germany and NATO as a whole.

The deployment follows a pledge made by Berlin in 2023 — a decision that broke with decades of postwar defense policy rooted in military restraint. German officials had long avoided permanently stationing combat troops abroad. That posture has changed in response to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, which has turned the Baltic region into one of NATO’s most vulnerable frontlines.

Germany’s commitment includes more than just fighting forces. The brigade will also feature key support elements, such as a medical center, communications specialists, and command support units dispersed across multiple Lithuanian locations. Troops will initially operate out of temporary facilities, with a permanent base under construction in Rūdninkai, located roughly 30 kilometers south of Vilnius.

Currently, 150 German soldiers are already on the ground in Lithuania. That figure is expected to rise to 500 by the end of the year as the new brigade scales up operations.

China announces “improvements” to social credit system

Quick Hit:

Beijing released new guidelines Monday to revamp its social credit system, promising stronger information controls while deepening the system’s reach across China’s economy and society. Critics say the move reinforces the Communist Party’s grip under the banner of “market efficiency.”

Key Details:

  • The guideline was issued by top Chinese government and Communist Party offices, listing 23 measures to expand and standardize the social credit system.
  • It aims to integrate the credit system across all sectors of China’s economy to support what Beijing calls “high-quality development.”
  • Officials claim the new framework will respect information security and individual rights—despite growing global concerns over surveillance and state overreach.

Diving Deeper:

China is doubling down on its social credit system with a newly issued guideline meant to “improve” and expand the controversial surveillance-driven program. Released by both the Communist Party’s Central Committee and the State Council, the document outlines 23 specific measures aimed at building a unified national credit system that will touch nearly every corner of Chinese society.

Framed as a tool for “high-quality development,” the guideline declares that credit assessments will increasingly shape the rules of engagement for businesses, government agencies, and individual citizens. The system, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), has already played a role in shaping China’s financial services, government efficiency, and business environment.

Critics of the social credit system have long warned that it serves as an instrument of authoritarian control—monitoring citizens’ behavior, punishing dissent, and rewarding obedience to the Communist Party. By integrating credit data across all sectors and enforcing a “shared benefits” model, the new guideline appears to entrench, not ease, the Party’s involvement in everyday life.

Still, Beijing is attempting to temper foreign and domestic concerns over privacy. The NDRC emphasized that the system is being built on the “fundamental principle” of protecting personal data. Officials pledged to avoid excessive data collection and crack down on any unlawful use of information.
