WASHINGTON (AA) - US President Donald Trump will sign an executive order designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization "as soon as today," the White House announced Monday.

"Antifa is going to be designated a domestic terrorist organization. The president intends to sign that executive order very soon, as soon as it's drafted, as soon as today, later this afternoon," spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters.

"This is something the president campaigned on, because we have seen a rise in violence perpetuated by Antifa radical people across this country who subscribe to this group."
