WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Attorney General Pam Bondi is following through on her pledge to end the “weaponization” of the federal government against conservative Americans.
Hours after being sworn in on Wednesday, Bondi established the “Weaponization Working Group” to review Biden-era targeting of Catholics, pro-lifers, President Trump himself, and others.
“The discretion afforded Justice Department attorneys … does not include latitude to substitute their personal political views or judgments for those that prevailed in the election,” Bondi’s memo says.
During her confirmation hearings last month, Bondi told lawmakers that the DOJ and the FBI’s “politicized” actions under Joe Biden will come to an end under her direction.
“Sending informants into Catholic churches must stop,” she told GOP Senator Mike Lee at the time.
Targeting Americans “for practicing your religion” must also end, she also said.
