President Donald Trump said he will formally designate antifa as a “MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” as the White House begins to fulfill its pledge to investigate what it calls left-wing extremism in the wake of the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Trump telegraphed such a move earlier in the week, saying he would support designating the antifa movement as a domestic terror organization if that was recommended by law enforcement officials in his administration.
