Trump campaigned on a pledge to fight antisemitism. “Antisemitic bigotry has no place in a civilized society,” Trump said at an event in 2024.

NPR has identified three Trump officials with close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a man described by federal prosecutors as a “Nazi sympathizer,” and a prominent Holocaust denier.
