Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims That Joe Biden Was Part Of A Plot To Assassinate Donald Trump: ‘Gave The Green Light’
May 29, 2024 by Maria Pierides
Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed on social media that President Joe Biden was part of a plot to assassinate Donald Trump back in 2022.
Greene, a far-right politician and conspiracy theorist who has been the U.S. representative for Georgia’s 14th congressional district since 2021, made the bold claim in an X post on May 21st after re-tweeting some of Trump’s previous posts about the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago.
If you’ll recall, the 77-year-old former president’s Mar-a-Lago property was raided on August 8th, 2022 to recover boxes containing top-secret documents that shouldn’t have been there. He is currently facing charges for allegedly mishandling the classified documents by taking them to his Florida home after leaving office. According to a May 21st CBS News article, Trump “has pleaded not guilty to all charges related to his alleged mishandling of sensitive government documents.”
“The Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to assassinate Pres Trump and gave the green light,” Greene’s X post read. “Does everyone get it yet?! What are Republicans going to do about it?” she asked, adding: “I tried to oust our Speaker who funded Biden’s DOJ AND FBI, but Democrats stopped it.”
Greene’s claim comes after Trump took to his Truth Social platform to lash out at the August 2022 raid. Trump’s post, which Greene shared a screenshot of in the above post, read: “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.”
He added: “Now we know, for sure, that Joe Biden is a serious threat to democracy. He is mentally unfit to hold office – 25th amendment.”
