President Trump said Thursday that he wants to root out "anti-Christian bias" in the US, announcing that he was forming a task force led by Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the "targeting" of Christians, the AP reports. Speaking at a pair of events in Washington surrounding the the National Prayer Breakfast, Trump said the task force would be directed to "immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ, which was absolutely terrible, the IRS, the FBI—terrible—and other agencies." Trump said Bondi would also work to "fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide."
Hours after the two events, Trump signed an executive order directing the new task force to identify unlawful policies, practices, or conduct by all executive departments and agencies, and recommend any additional presidential or legislative action. An hour after calling for "unity" at the National Prayer Breakfast on Capitol Hill, though, Trump struck a more partisan tone at the second event across town, announcing that, in addition to the task force, he was forming a commission on religious liberty. He criticized the Biden administration for "persecution" of believers for prosecuting anti-abortion advocates. (Some religious leaders are pushing back.)
