The FBI on Thursday denied a report that it is targeting Trump supporters ahead of the 2024 presidential elections.
There was a report from Newsweek Wednesday saying the FBI created a category to evaluate threats known as anti-government [and] anti-authority violent extremism, saying that it encompasses individuals who it deems a threat but don’t fall under anarchist, militia, or sovereign citizen groups. It cited more than a dozen current and former anonymous government officials saying that the program often investigates supporters of former President Donald Trump.
