Trump Establishes Taskforce to Combat Alleged Anti-Christian Discrimination
The initiative, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, aims to address perceived biases in federal agencies and society, while aligning with Trump's broader government overhaul.
- President Donald Trump announced the creation of a taskforce to tackle what he describes as 'anti-Christian' discrimination in U.S. federal agencies and society.
- The taskforce, under the leadership of Attorney General Pam Bondi, will focus on addressing alleged anti-Christian bias in institutions like the Justice Department, IRS, and FBI.
- Trump's announcement occurred during the National Prayer Breakfast, where he emphasized his commitment to protecting Christians in schools, workplaces, and public spaces.
- The initiative is part of a broader restructuring of the federal government, which includes cutting programs aimed at promoting equality for ethnic and sexual minorities.
- Trump, who is a polarizing figure among religious groups, described surviving a past assassination attempt as a divine intervention, further solidifying his support among right-wing Christian communities.
