U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi hosted Trump administration officials at the Department of Justice on Tuesday for a meeting on the Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias Task Force, which President Trump had directed her to form.
"Together, this task force will identify any unlawful anti-Christian policies, practices or conduct across the government, seek input from faith-based organizations and state government to end anti-Christian bias, find and fix deficiencies in existing and regulatory practice that might contribute to the anti-Christian bias," Bondi said.
Bondi said the Biden administration's Department of Justice "abused and targeted Christians."
"As President Trump has stated, the Biden administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses. The president is right," Bondi said. "President Biden declared Easter Sunday to be Transgender Day of Visibility. No longer."
As reported by WGME, many top Trump Cabinet members were in attendance at the meeting, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, FBI Director Kristi Noem, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Education Secretary Linda McMahon.
The task force drew criticism from Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
"Rather than protecting religious beliefs, this task force will misuse religious freedom to justify bigotry, discrimination, and the subversion of our civil rights laws," said Rachel Laser, the group's president and CEO.
