“Violent white supremacists are the most significant domestic terrorism threat facing our nation today,” six Democratic senators wrote in a letter sent to Attorney General William Barr on Thursday. 'The Trump Administration is not taking this threat as seriously as it should be.”
Several Democratic senators accused President Trump’s administration of failing to take the threat of white supremacist terrorism seriously in a letter sent to Attorney General William Barr.
“Last week, DOJ and the FBI finally briefed Senate Judiciary Committee staff on the domestic terrorism threat, nearly six months after the briefing was requested,” they continued. “The briefing reinforced our concerns that the Trump Administration is not taking this threat as seriously as it should be.”
The reclassification, the senators say, is concerning because it downplays the significance of the white supremacist threat.
