Trump admin live updates: Gov. says 'no need' after Trump directs troops to Portland

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that President Donald Trump will sign an executive order designating Antifa as a terror organization as early as Monday afternoon.

"Well, Antifa is going to be designated a domestic terrorist organization. The president intends to sign that executive order very soon, as soon as it's drafted, as soon as today -- later this afternoon," Leavitt told reporters during Monday's briefing. Though currently, federal law does not allow for U.S. organizations to be labeled "terrorist" groups.

Leavitt also reiterated Trump's pledge to go after left-leaning organizations he claims contribute to political violence.

"Enough is enough. As President Trump has promised, he will directly address the dark sources funding and supporting this domestic terrorism to finally restore order in our country. The American people can expect further very strong action on this very soon," Leavitt told reporters at Monday's briefing, after listing several examples of political violence against Republican figures while not mentioning recent attacks against Democrats.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday insisted President Donald Trump is seeking "accountability" when asked whether Trump's public pressure on Attorney General Pam Bondi to prosecute his political rivals constitutes "retribution."

Leavitt claimed New York Attorney General Letitia James is a "corrupt politician" who "abused her oath of office," despite federal prosecutors coming up empty after five months of extensive investigations into James.

When pressed by ABC News on why the president wouldn't accept the conclusion of his Justice Department not to bring charges against James, Leavitt said he has a right to "express how he feels" about people who "tried to ruin his life and his business."

ABC News White House correspondent Karen Travers asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday if President Donald Trump would sit down with Democratic leaders on government funding -- a request made by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries over the weekend.

"Discussions are ongoing with both Republican and Democratic members of Capitol Hill. I don't have any meetings or any scheduling updates for you today, but what I will share is that -- what this White House wants and what Republicans want, we want a clean funding extension to keep the government open," Leavitt said.

Lawmakers ended last week no closer to a solution on funding with the Oct. 1 deadline fast approaching.

The White House is unveiling some more details surrounding the "framework deal" between the United States and China to save TikTok's U.S. operations. Under the deal, TikTok will be controlled by a new joint venture with a majority of American investors, owners, and board of directors, according to a senior White House official. ByteDance will hold less than 20% equity in the app's U.S. operations.

A "copy" of the algorithm will be brought into the new U.S. joint venture and overseen by Oracle, to comply with the laws in the U.S. and China.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order later this week declaring that the deal meets America's national security needs and will extend the pause on the ban-or-sale law by another 120 days to complete the deal. They expect ByteDance to sign a "framework" agreement.

The official said they're "confident" that China has approved the deal. When pressed whether that means negotiations are still ongoing, the official said paperwork and approvals need to be issued.
