Trump DOJ scrubs report naming far-right extremists as top domestic terror threat

President Donald Trump's Justice Department has quietly removed a study that found white supremacist and far-right violence are the leading types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism in the United States, according to a report.

The report said "militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism" had risen in the country, and continued to "outpace" other forms of terrorism and violent extremism.

But a doctoral student at the University of North Carolina flagged that the report had mysteriously disappeared under the Trump administration.

"This is an archived government report that found that 'Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.' It existed yesterday and is gone today," noted Daniel Malmer on X.

The report said 227 events involving far-right extremists had taken more than 520 lives. That number was 42 for far-left extremists.

The independent outlet 404 Media confirmed the report has gone missing and noted visitors to the site were greeted with a message.

"The Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs is currently reviewing its websites and materials in accordance with recent Executive Orders and related guidance," reads a message on the page where the study once lived. "During this review, some pages and publications will be unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

It wasn't immediately clear why the study had been removed. It comes as the right points a finger at the left over inflammatory political rhetoric, which MAGA lawmakers and influencers claim led to the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Among them: President Donald Trump.

“For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals,” Trump said in a video address after Kirk’s killing. “This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now. My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it.”
