Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf said Sunday that while violent protests in the wake of George Floyd's death are "diminishing" and "subsiding," he remains concerned about those who he says have taken advantage of the demonstrations to carry out their own agendas. Wolf echoed statements from Attorney General Bill Barr and FBI Director Christopher Wray last week, in which they described evidence that extremist groups -- including Antifa and foreign actors -- were using the unrest to stoke criminal activity. Wolf also addressed a recent push from the left to defund police forces, something that President Trump has strongly railed against.
