Renewed FOIA Request Holds FBI Accountable for Targeting Religious Groups
WASHINGTON – Advancing American Freedom is leading a coalition of conservative groups in urging the U.S. Attorney General and FBI Director to release documents about the FBI’s pattern of religious discrimination under the Biden Administration.
This week, Advancing American Freedom renewed its FOIA request for the DOJ and FBI to release documents related to an FBI memo labeling traditionalist Catholics as potential “violent extremists.” AAF General Counsel J. Marc Wheat said:
“The DOJ has a legal responsibility to comply with and enforce the FOIA law. The Biden Administration, in response to our initial request, said that it had no responsive documents, likely because, as we found out later, the FBI thought it had destroyed the relevant documents. Further evidence suggests they failed to destroy the paper trail. We urge the Trump administration to provide us with these documents so that the American people can hold the FBI accountable for its treatment of religious groups.”
