FBI agents revealed a clear resolve to implement President Donald Trump’s directive to disrupt and dismantle Antifa, a far-left group tied to violent protests and clashes with police and federal agents, according to a pair of nationally known media figures who said they were interviewed by agents.

Glenn Beck and Nick Sortor, who each have a large online following, separately posted on social media that FBI agents questioned them concerning information they had gathered about Antifa. The interviews were the latest in a series of federal actions under President Trump’s Sept. 22 order titled “Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization.” The FBI and other federal agencies have launched investigations into the group’s operations, supporters, and funding sources.
