Actually Wray confirmed in testimony before Congress earlier this month that "Antifa is a real thing." And while Wray did say Antifa is "not a group or an organization. It's a movement, or an ideology may be one way of thinking of it," unlike Biden, he didn't minimize Antifa's threat.
"And we have quite a number — and I've said this quite consistently since my first time appearing before this committee — we have any number of properly predicated investigations into what we would describe as violent anarchist extremists, and some of those individuals self-identify with Antifa," Wray said.

Carney: NYT Attack on Trump's 'Financial Acumen' Is Nonsense

Carney: NYT Attack on Trump's 'Financial Acumen' Is Nonsense

According to the New York Times, Trump paid millions when he filed for an extension in those years and later used business investment tax credits to reduce his tax bills to just $750. The paper says the president did not get a refund for the overpayment. Instead, the extra money will get applied to future tax bills. So the real story here is Trump apparently overpaid his taxes in his first years in the White House.
By the way, Trump has been donating his entire presidential salary back to the government. And this does not reduce his taxes for that income. So Trump is taxed on income he sends back to the government. But he had tax credits in 2016 and 2017 that essentially reduce his tax liability to zero.
Unfortunately, the New York Times mucked up this straight-forward story by claiming that the 18 years of tax data raise doubts about whether Trump is a successful businessman.
