Police in Portland, Oregon arrested thirteen people and seized weapons such as bear spray and shields from 'multiple groups' as right-wing groups and far-left counter-protesters clashed on Saturday. Authorities also set up concrete barriers and closed streets in an effort to contain the groups. Flag-waving members of the Proud Boys and the Three Percenters militia group began gathering late in the morning, some wearing body armor and helmets. Meanwhile, masked Antifa protesters clad in black were also among the several hundred people on the streets. Polices said they had seized weapons from the groups that were gathering on both sides of the Willamette River, which runs through the city. 👮🏻‍♂️

Donald Trump lamented Sunday morning that the media has launched a 'Racism Witch Hunt' in the aftermath of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and testimony last month. 'The Failing New York Times, in one of the most devastating portrayals of bad journalism in history, got caught by a leaker that they are shifting from their Phony Russian Collusion Narrative (the Mueller Report & his testimony were a total disaster), to a Racism Witch Hunt,' Trump tweeted. The president is referencing comments The New York Times' Executive Editor Dean Baquet made during a town hall meeting with staff on Monday where he said the paper would be shifting its focus from the Russian investigation and report to the president's perceived racism.
