FBI National Security Branch Operations Director Michael Glasheen Testifies About Antifa

From Matt Sledge's 12-11-25 THE INTERCEPT article entitled "How Many Members Does Antifa Have? Where Is Its Headquarters? The FBI Has No Answers.":

A top FBI official toed the White House line about antifa as a major domestic terror threat at a House hearing on Thursday — but he struggled to answer questions about the leaderless movement.

Pressed repeatedly by a top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee about antifa’s size and location, the operations director of the FBI’s national security division didn’t have answers.

At one point, the FBI’s Michael Glasheen fumbled with his hands as he tried to find an answer for the question from Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss.

“Well, the investigations are active,” Glasheen said.

Glasheen’s comments came three months after President Donald Trump proclaimed that antifa is a “major terror organization,” even though the broad political movement does not have a hierarchy or leadership [...].

Trump has long obsessed over the “threat” that antifa poses to the U.S. His fixation appears to have been supercharged by the September 10 slaying of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk in Utah, allegedly by a shooter who engraved one unused bullet with the words “Hey fascist! catch!”

That helped spur Trump administration officials to launch an extensive search for links between the alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, and domestic or foreign groups that so far has produced no arrests.
