Members of the domestic terrorist organization Antifa gathered in Washington on Aug. 12 to “counterprotest” a small gathering of right-wing demonstrators on the one-year anniversary of the Charlottesville riots, and to threaten President Donald Trump in videos with violence and even murder.

“The Secret Service is aware of the videos circulating in the media. As a matter of policy, we do not comment regarding Protective Intelligence investigations,” a Secret Service spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email.
