What the evidence shows
The operations plan included the standard DOJ policy limiting deadly force to situations involving imminent danger of death or serious injury. The FBI said there was no departure from standard protocol; Trump was not present during the search. See the DOJ use-of-force policy and the Associated Press evidence review.
Misleading for the narrow statement that an operations order contained a standard deadly-force provision; False for the communicated allegation that Biden authorized a plan to harm or “take out” Trump.
