Author Stephen King recently criticized Donald Trump‘s claims about the FBI on social media, labeling them as a “big f****** lie.”
In a post on Truth Social back in May, Trump accused President Joe Biden of allowing the FBI to use deadly force against him following a search of his Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022. This search was related to allegations that Trump had mishandled classified documents.
King, a vocal critic of Trump, used his platform on social media to denounce Trump’s statements, garnering over 601,000 views in response to his post.
While some praised King’s remarks, others criticized him, calling him a liar. The discussion around this issue sparked contrasting views on social media.
An Associated Press fact check clarified that the mention of “use of deadly force” in the search documentation was standard procedure and not specific to targeting Trump.
At the heart of the issue is maintaining protocol in such situations, with the Department of Justice affirming that standard practices were adhered to during the search of Trump’s property in Mar-a-Lago.
Trump’s legal team recently contested efforts to curtail his statements that could potentially endanger law enforcement ahead of his upcoming debate with Biden.
As the drama continues to unfold, Trump and Biden remain central figures in the political landscape heading towards the general election.
