'They Were Authorised To Shoot Me', When Trump Made Shocking Claims...

Pennsylvania: Donald Trump was shot at, during his rally in Pennsylvania and this is looking like an assassination attempt on the former US President.

Amid developments in the assassination bid case, claims of Trump made in the past have resurfaced where he said, “They were authorised to shoot me…”

'They Were Authorised To Shoot Me', When Trump Made Shocking Claims...

Earlier in May this year, Trump had sent a mail with the subject line ‘They were authorised to shoot me’. 

The mail further read, “I nearly escaped death. Biden’s DOJ was locked and loaded for deadly force at Mar-a-Lago…”

This seemed like a ‘cry of help’ to the followers of Trump, however, it later turned out to be something else. 

What Did The ‘Deadly Force’ Statement By Trump Actually Mean?

The Biden administration authorized the use of “deadly force” against former President Donald Trump during an FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022.

The policy statement on the “use of deadly force,” which appeared in an operations order for the Mar-a-Lago search, is not evidence of a plot to kill Trump. It is a Department of Justice policy that is standard to include in such documents.

Assassination Attempt On Donald Trump

Former US president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday was shot at during his rally in Pennsylvania and a bullet pierced the upper part of his right ear.

Trump got injured during his election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania following an apparent series of gunshots. He was immediately escorted out of the venue by the US Secret Service.

“US Secret Service personnel neutralised the shooter, who is now deceased. The US Secret Service quickly responded with protective measures and Former President Trump is safe. One spectator was killed, and two spectators were critically injured,” said Anthony Guglielmi, spokesperson of the US Secret Service.
