The FBI categorizes white supremacy underneath a broader category, called 'racially motivated violent extremism.'
The National Defense Authorization Act required the FBI to report on US domestic terrorism, and how it and the Department of Homeland Security counter it.
But according to Business Insider, the report, which was due in June 2020, is now four months overdue.

Bennie Thompson says he thinks the delay is due to something else entirely.
