The FBI has opened more than 300 domestic terrorism investigations against rioters since George Floyd's death in Minneapolis kicked off nationwide unrest, a federal attorney revealed Tuesday in a hearing on Capitol Hill on Antifa and violent protests.

Secretary Ken Cuccinelli told lawmakers that an estimated 140 federal law enforcement officers guarding a Portland federal courthouse sustained 277 injuries due to the violent and sustained nightly attacks at the building.

The hearing Tuesday titled "The Right of the People Peaceably to Assemble: Protecting Speech by Stopping Anarchist Violence” revealed deep divisions in how Republicans and Democrats view the sustained protests that have gripped the nation since Floyd's death while in police custody. Meanwhile, Democrats focused their questioning on the federal government's sometimes aggressive tactics in places like Portland and Washington, D.C., in dispersing crowds that they view as largely peaceful.

"That would address an actual problem lawful protesters are facing and the rest of us are seeing in this country," Hirono said.

FBI Uncovers Plot Where JFK Was BuriedWASHINGTON—Confirming a longstanding theory concerning the former president’s death, FBI officials announced Monday that they had uncovered the plot where JFK was buried. “After significant digging, we unearthed the entirety of the plot, which we believe dated back as early as 1963,” said FBI director Christopher Wray, telling reporters that the plot was much more complex and went much deeper than they had originally believed. “We found a lot of dirt, and based on our findings, we can definitely state that government officials were heavily involved in putting the plot together in the first place.” Wray added that now that the contents of the plot had been brought to the light of day, it would be almost impossible for anyone to bury them again. \n lol The plot is dead. 🤝
