Former President Donald Trump said Secret Service agents could have been "in the line of fire" during the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022.
A court filing unsealed Tuesday showed how federal agents prepared for and executed the raid, including "deadly force" being within the mission's guidelines, Newsweek reported.
"I have gotten to know so many amazing United States Secret Service Agents – It has been my honor to have them protecting me and my family since our historic 2016 Victory against 'Beautiful' Hillary Clinton," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday.
"Shockingly, however, Crooked Joe Biden's Department of Injustice authorized the use of 'deadly force' in their Illegal, UnConstitutional, and Un-American RAID of Mar-a-Lago, and that would include against our Great Secret Service, who they thought might be 'in the line of fire.'
"As I told Crooked Joe's DOJ, if they needed anything, 'all they had to do was ask.' They did not have to ILLEGALLY AND UNCONSTITUTIONALLY RAID my home, and rummage through my family's, including Barron's, private quarters. END THESE THIRD WORLD WITCH HUNTS, AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
The FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago led to the search and seizure of hundreds of documents containing classified information.
