The White House hosted a roundtable on Antifa Wednesday, just weeks after President Donald Trump designated the violent, far-left activist group a terrorist organization.

Participants in the discussion included Trump, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, FBI Director Kash Patel, along with several journalists and researchers who have covered Antifa and been brutally attacked by its activists. 

The attendees presented information about violence they've personally experienced from Antifa and provided information about the organization's structure and financial background, and the impact of its new designation as a terrorist organization. Participants also discussed the media's coverage of the violent group and law enforcement’s response.

Here are five highlights from the Trump administration's Roundtable on Antifa.
