A document on the violence of the radical extreme right in the United States was withdrawn from the website of the Ministry of Justice, AFP noted on Tuesday.
This document, written by the National Institute of Justice, the branch of the ministry dedicated to research, stresses that “the extreme right radicals have committed many more murders motivated by the ideology than the extreme left radicals or the radical Islamists” from 1990 to today.
Conclusions that go against Donald Trump’s statements and his government in recent days, according to which the “radical left” feeds political violence in the country, after the murder of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk a week ago.
The Ministry of Justice did not respond to AFP requests.
It is the independent site 404 Media which, thanks to archived versions of the web page of the Ministry of Justice, showed that the document was still accessible on September 11 but more in the afternoon of the following day.
On Monday, the White House affirmed its intention to repress what it describes as “inner terrorism” on the left after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, while the motivations of the alleged murderer remain mysterious.
If the fight against internal terrorism is the responsibility of the federal forces, the United States does not have a list of “domestic terrorist organizations”.
