Ever since the killing of Charlie Kirk, President Donald Trump has vowed to go after liberal groups that he said have done “tremendous damage to our country.” Now, his administration is considering different ways to fulfill that pledge.
Officials at the White House National Security Council have discussed the government using federal statutes related to “treason, sedition, and subversive activities,” according to sources briefed on the conversations, who were not authorized to speak publicly.
Trump on Wednesday said he will designate antifa, a loosely organized and decentralized far-left movement opposing fascism, as a “major terrorist organization.” It’s not clear how that will be done, but a draft executive order has circulated in the White House that aims to target people identifying as antifa.
