There are no alleged links to Antifa in any cases brought by the Justice Department over unrest so far, an NPR review of court records shows.
That does not rule out the possibility, of course, that investigators could discover such links in the course of their investigation.
Barr described antifa as a"very loosely organized group" with a"sort of unique or unusual system of communication and organization." On the question of hierarchy, he said that"there are people who could be characterized as leaders in any given situation." On that note, Wray told lawmakers in 2017 that the FBI was investigating"anarchist-extremist" elements where individuals appear motivated to commit acts of violence"on kind of an antifa ideology."
"There is clearly a high degree or organization involved in some of these events and coordinated tactics that we're seeing, and we're looking into that as well," he said."Some of it relates to antifa; some of it relates to groups that act very much like antifa. As I said, there's a witches brew of extremist groups that are trying to exploit this situation on all sides.
