    The FBI is “cooking the books” to portray supporters of former President Trump as the nation’s No. 1 domestic terrorism threat, contend critics.

    Newsweek featured a story Tuesday titled “FBI Ramps Up Spending to Fight MAGA Terrorism,” referencing the “Make America Great Again” theme of Trump’s term in office. The magazine said that according to FBI documents and government specialists, the bureau “is conducting three times as many domestic terrorism investigations than it was five years ago, with 70 percent of its open cases focused on ‘civil unrest’ and anti-government activity.”

    More than one-third of those cases, 850, are related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

    A senior FBI officials told Newsweek the bureau “isn’t partisan per se, though it finds itself investigating mostly MAGA and related political activity as domestic terrorism.”

    The official said “right-wing-oriented” suspected terrorists account for more than 80% of all cases in the anti-government category.” The rest, the official said, “are associated with left-wing grievances or indeterminate political origins.”

    Investigative reporter Julie Kelly, who has focused her work over the past two years on Jan. 6, noted that Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wrote a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray in July citing FBI whistleblowers. They charged that bureau officials were “pressuring agents to reclassify cases as ‘domestic violent extremism’ even if the cases do not meet the criteria for such a classification.”

    “Given the narrative pushed by the Biden Administration that domestic violent extremism is the ‘greatest threat’ facing our country, the revelation that the FBI may be artificially padding domestic terrorism data is scandalous,” Jordan wrote.
