President Donald Trump said Thursday that he's forming a task force to be led by the Department of Justice to "eradicate anti-Christian bias" within the federal government and prosecute violence against Christians.
Trump said he would be launching a presidential commission on religious liberty and signing an executive order putting Attorney General Pam Bondi over the DOJ initiative, which he said he was creating to confront "weaponization" and "religious persecution" of Christians in the United States.
The mission of the task force will be to "immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination in the federal government," including at the Department of Justice, the FBI, the IRS and other agencies, Trump said in a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast.
