 Last week, President Trump signed a memorandum targeting “domestic terrorism and organized political violence.” It directs federal agencies — from the Department of Justice to the IRS — to investigate and prosecute groups and individuals accused of fostering political violence. While Antifa is named explicitly, the memo is widely viewed as focusing on what the administration calls “left-wing terrorism.”On Saturday, the President ordered troops into Portland, Oregon, to “protect war-ravaged Portland and any ICE facilities under siege from Antifa and other domestic terrorists.”In another display of political muscle, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on two charges after the Trump administration pressed the Justice Department to pursue the case.To unpack these developments and their implications for democracy, this week on Terms of Engagement, Archon Fung and Stephen Richer speak with Alex Whiting, Professor of Practice at Harvard Law School and an expert on criminal prosecution.About this Week’s GuestAlex Whiting is a Professor at Harvard Law School, where he teaches, writes and consults on domestic and international criminal prosecution issues.
