Attorney General William Barr warned about a “witches’ brew” of extremist groups such as anarchists, “antifa-related” groups, those associated with the so-called Boogaloo movement, and others operating within the George Floyd protests to instigate violence and advance their ideologies.
During a virtual press conference at the Justice Department on Thursday, Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray offered an assessment of outside groups they said are trying to exploit the protests.
