EXCLUSIVE: Trump DOJ's Top 'Antifa' Prosecutor Marched with Crowd on Jan. 6 [View all]

In the meantime, Lynch remained at DOJ and, under the second Trump administration, received a big promotion: He’s now running a national task force to prosecute left-wing political violence.

The prosecutor, Brian W. Lynch, did not return TPM’s requests for comment.
