The Trump administration is unleashing a full-scale crackdown on the financial pipelines propping up America’s radical left.
During a White House roundtable on Wednesday, President Donald Trump met with independent journalists and researchers who’ve directly encountered Antifa’s violence.
Among the panelists was Seamus Bruner, research director at the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), who described the administration’s “whole-of-government” crackdown now underway.
“President Trump is taking it very seriously,” Bruner said. “This is not just a story about violence and chaos, as you alluded to, Mr. President. This is a money story. At the Government Accountability Institute, my colleague Peter Schweizer and I, along with our team, followed the money — and we followed it to the top of what we call the protest industrial complex: Riot, Inc.”
Bruner laid out shocking findings from GAI’s research, revealing that over $100 million has flowed through radical networks connected to Antifa and similar groups, including at least $4 million in U.S. taxpayer cash.
He noted that these networks bankroll bail funds and activist legal groups that help violent offenders return to the streets within hours of arrest, perpetuating an endless protest cycle in Democrat-run cities like Portland, Seattle, and Chicago.
GAI investigations, Bruner said, have uncovered patterns of paid transportation, coordinated logistics, and exploitation of homeless individuals, all tied to left-wing funding pipelines that stretch across states.
Perhaps most damning, Bruner revealed that U.S. taxpayer funds have been intertwined with these radical networks, either through grants to partner nonprofits or government-backed foundations.
He specifically cited the “Stop Cop City” riots in Atlanta, where more than 60 militants were charged with domestic terrorism, noting that several groups involved received money from the same pool of left-wing foundations and government grants.
Seamus Bruner:
“We found a network of NGOs. It’s not just the Soros network — the Open Society network — it’s other funding networks: the Arabella funding network, the Tides funding network, Neville Roy Singham and his network, and foreign cash. It’s also big left-wing funders. Some of them are not even citizens of this country — Mr. Hansjörg Wyss of Switzerland.They’re pouring money into this entire ecosystem. So I want to share three money facts with you about what we call Riot, Inc.
Number one: like any corporation, Riot, Inc. has many divisions.It doesn’t just have the Antifa “boots-on-the-ground” division — it has PR divisions, marketing divisions, and a very well-funded legal division to get these “boots on the ground” back on the streets as quickly as possible.
But it does have those investors that I mentioned.
Number two: we have identified dozens of radical organizations — not just the decentralized Antifa groups — but dozens of radical organizations that have received more than $100 million from the Riot, Inc. investors. These would be the lawyer groups, the advocacy groups that label good, honest Americans as “fascists,” etc.
And then, number three — I think the most shocking thing — we found that more than $100 million in U.S. taxpayer funding has flowed into these funding networks, including at least $4 million directly to these groups themselves.
Not just Antifa types. There was an event in Atlanta called “Stop Cop City.” Over 60 rioters were charged with domestic terrorism. These groups received money for that — from both the billionaire class and taxpayer funds.
One other thing — this money also helps fund decentralized crowdfunding platforms. These are the ways Antifa, the John Brown Gun Club of Elm Fork (which had links to the attack on the ICE facility), and the Socialist Rifle Association receive money.
And just because they don’t have LLCs or EIN numbers doesn’t mean they can’t get paid. Some of these crowdfunding platforms are funded by this network we call Riot, Inc.
So again, I want to thank you for your leadership — for the whole Cabinet’s leadership on this. We’re going to keep following the money and appreciate everything you’re doing, sir.”
Elon Musk chimed in, blasting the report and declaring, “It’s way more than $100 million in U.S. taxpayer money.”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the chairwoman of the Taskforce on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, called on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to freeze all assets of Neville Singham, the billionaire funder of the communist Code Pink organization, ANSWER Coalition, National Students for Justice in Palestine, and several other anti-American leftist organizations.
In June, the House Oversight Committee turned up the heat on Neville Roy Singham, the shadowy billionaire and alleged Chinese Communist Party asset accused of bankrolling the radical left’s most disruptive street agitators.
In a bombshell move, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) confirmed that the Committee will issue a formal document request to Singham over his alleged financial support of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) — the extremist Marxist group believed to be behind the violent anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles.
