Leaked Memo Shows Attorney General Bondi Ordered FBI to Compile List of “Domestic Terrorism” Groups

HeadlineDec 08, 2025

Attorney General Pam Bondi is ordering the FBI to compile a list of what the Justice Department is calling “domestic terrorist” organizations. A memo obtained by journalist Ken Klippenstein says the DOJ’s target is those expressing “opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology,” as well as “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism” and “anti-Christianity.” The memo echoes language in President Trump’s directive known as NSPM-7, or National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, which Trump signed in September in the wake of the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. We’ll have more on this story later in the broadcast with investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein.
