FBI Director Patel says investigators have found antifa funding sources

FBI under Kash Patel is tracing funding streams tied to Antifa violence via nonprofits and foreign sources, resulting in over two dozen federal arrests, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, FBI Deputy Director Kash Patel told Dan Bongino the FBI is investigating funding tied to left-wing activism and has created a dedicated program over the last year.
  • The White House's NSPM-7, issued in September, directed federal law enforcement to investigate ideologies linked to political violence, and the FBI is implementing it to probe funding sources for left-leaning activist groups,
  • Using counterterrorism-style financial techniques, the FBI is tracing funds through U.S.-based nonprofit groups and possible foreign sources, beginning arrests linked to protest-related violence.
  • In Texas, the Prairieland prosecution involves sixteen charged and a mistrial declared during jury selection by District Judge Mark Pittman for the Northern District of Texas on Tuesday.
  • Critics note that antifa is described as a decentralized movement, which civil-liberties concerns say complicates investigation; Patel did not name donors and said more details may emerge in the `coming months`.
