There wasn’t "any basis for the FBI to bring firearms into Mar-a-Lago during the raid of the property...but the agents appear to have done so."
It has been revealed that the FBI justified its decision to bring firearms into Mar-a-Lago during the 2022 raid of Trump’s Florida residence by stating that it was to search for alleged life-threatening contraband on the premises.
Journalist Julie Kelley revealed a filing that states there wasn’t "any basis for the FBI to bring firearms into Mar-a-Lago during the raid of the property."
"There were no threats and no risk to agents’ safety arising from their allegations relating to possession of documents at a premises already guarded by the Secret Service," the filing continued.
"But the agents appear to have done so, based on documents produced in discovery, in order to search for alleged contraband they pretended was life-threatening in Mar-a-Lago’s gym and kitchen."
An FBI Photographic Log revealed that photos were taken both in the gym and kitchen.
The same filing revealed that the FBI had authorized the use of deadly force at Trump’s Palm Beach estate during the raid.
The filing noted that the agents arrived at Mar-a-Lago at around 9 am on August 8, 2022, and did not leave until around 7 pm. "The roving and highly inappropriate search covered, for example, a 'gym,' 'kitchen,' the 'Former First Lady Master Bedroom Suite' and the Child’s bedroom suite' used by President Trump’s son."
"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,'" the filing stated.
