1. White House Event & Grandmother’s Testimony
A Washington, D.C. grandmother who lost her grandson in 2017 praised Donald Trump during a Black History Month event.
She credited his administration for focusing on crime reduction and supporting her advocacy after her grandson’s murder.
She expressed frustration with previous local responses and argued for harsher sentencing.
The mainstream media is intentionally avoided showing this White House moment because it is portraying Trump positively.

2. Kash Patel's Earlier Statements (From White House Remarks)
Kash Patel emphasized the FBI was “following the money” to combat violent groups, including Antifa.
He described Antifa as part of organized criminal activity and domestic terrorism.
Patel credited Trump and DOJ leadership for enabling aggressive investigations.
He claimed the FBI was mapping financial networks tied to criminal conduct.
Patel states investigators have now uncovered major Antifa funding streams.
He discussed ongoing financial investigations into demonstrations linked to Antifa.
He suggested details about donors and organizations might be released later.

3. Arrests and Prosecutions Mentioned
Patel cites:

Over two dozen federal arrests related to “Portland”-type events.
Nineteen convictions for violent acts linked to Antifa.
A Texas federal trial involving nine defendants accused of attacking ICE personnel.
A 2023 Georgia case tied to the “Cop City” protests.

4. Funding Investigations
The FBI is examining whether Antifa-related funding:

Flows through U.S.-based nonprofit groups.
Potentially involves foreign sources.
May include tax‑exempt organizations.
Patel stresses the focus is strictly on violence-related support, not peaceful protest.

5. Organizational Discussions
Although Antifa is widely described as decentralized, Patel says the FBI sees signs of structure such as:

Conferences
Local chapters
National networking
He contrasts this with past officials who described Antifa as merely an “idea.”

6. Internal FBI Actions
Patel says the FBI created a dedicated program to track financial backing of violent activity tied to Antifa.
He describes using counterterrorism-style financial tracing techniques.
