WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump brought journalists assaulted by the newly designated terrorist group Antifa together with Cabinet officials for a roundtable discussion at the White House on Oct. 8.
Antifa is a far-left extremist group that originated under the Soviet Union and functioned as the violent wing of Germany’s Communist Party to target political rivals. The organization is known for political violence against its opponents, whom it routinely labels as fascists.
