NEW JERSEY—During an interview on the tarmac today at Morristown Airport in New Jersey in response to a reporter asking what organization are under investigation by his administration in relation to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, President Donald J Trump responded, “the left.”
When you look at the agitators — you look at the scum that speaks so badly of our country, the American flag burnings all over the place — that’s the left, not the right,” President Trump told reporters. “We will be announcing…. They are already under MAJOR INVESTIGATION. A lot of the people you would traditionally say are on the left are already under investigation.”
On Thursday, September 11, House Freedom Caucus members called for a select committee to investigate the “the money, influence, and power behind the radical left’s assault on America and the rule of law” in the wake of the assassination of conservative powerhouse Charlie Kirk, The Hill reported.
In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Friday, September 12, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, warned of a “domestic terrorism movement” driven by the political left in the United States with the explicit intent to incite violence or murder.
Stephen Miller is going nuclear…

Miller pledged that under President Trump’s leadership aggressive action will be taken—potentially using RICO charges, conspiracy against the United States, or insurrection statutes—to dismantle entities involved in riots, doxing, inspiring terrorism, and committing violence in the United States.
“The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in Heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me before that assassin stole him from all of us,” said Miller. “And we are going to do that under President Trump’s leadership. I don’t care how. It could be a RICO charge, a conspiracy charge, conspiracy against the United States, insurrection, but we are going to do what it takes to dismantle the organizations and the entities that are fomenting riots, that are doxing, that are trying to inspire terrorism, that are committing acts of wanton violence. It has to stop.”
President Trump on Friday morning during an interview on Fox & Friends blamed the “radical left” for fomenting violence, downplayed any right-wing extremism, and outlined plans for aggressive investigations into entities he believes are organizing and funding such activities.

Trump explicitly stated that his administration would investigate billionaire philanthropist George Soros and his network, suggesting it could lead to charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act—typically used against organized crime syndicates.
“We’re going to look into Soros because I think it’s a RICO case against him and other people because this is more than protests,” President Trump said. “This is real agitation; this is riots on the street—and we’re going to look into that.”
