Trump Administration Issues First 'Weaponization' Report, Claiming Bias Under Biden
Source: New York Times
The report is part of the presidents effort to claim anti-conservative and anti-Christian biases in federal law enforcement, even as he pushes to wield the legal system against his political enemies.
The Justice Department accused the Biden administration of unfairly prosecuting anti-abortion activists, according to a report issued on Tuesday, part of a broader effort by President Trump to counter what he has claimed were anti-conservative biases by federal law enforcement under his predecessor.
The report is the first of several expected to be released by the departments Weaponization Working Group, which promised to scrutinize a range of issues, including the criminal investigations into Mr. Trump and what he has cast as anti-Christian and anti-Catholic biases under President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
The 37-page report, featuring more than 800 additional pages of internal emails and other exhibits, comes at a tenuous time in President Trumps relationship with the religious right. In recent days, Mr. Trump posted an image of himself as Jesus Christ, and attacked Pope Leo XIV, the leader of the Catholic Church, as weak on crime, drawing backlash from some of his own supporters.
Shortly before the documents release, the Trump administration fired three career department lawyers who had worked on the cases at issue in the report, according to people familiar with the dismissals.
