Overview
- At a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, FBI national security director Michael Glasheen called Antifa the agency’s “most immediate” domestic violent threat.
- Pressed by Ranking Member Bennie Thompson for headquarters, locations, or membership numbers, Glasheen offered no concrete information.
- Glasheen said the FBI is “building out the infrastructure,” described the situation as “very fluid,” and referenced ongoing investigations.
- He aligned with President Donald Trump’s designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, despite prior statements describing it as a loose movement.
- CNN highlighted the exchange, and former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe faulted the testimony for offering “zero details” to support the claim.
