Skullduggery political podcast: Right-wing extremism and the FBI May 6, 2021
In the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, which itself was preceded by multiple attacks on state governments by right-wing extremists, Attorney General Merrick Garland said publicly that domestic terrorism from white nationalist groups is now as much of a concern as foreign terrorism for the Department of Justice.
