CWN Editor's Note: The Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group issued 231-page report on the 2023 memo from the bureau’s Richmond office that warned against “radical traditionalist Catholic ideology.”
“This Department of Justice will not tolerate a weaponized bureaucracy that chills First Amendment activity,” said Attorney General Todd Blanche. “The individuals who developed the Richmond Domain Perspective are no longer with the Department, and our Working Group’s efforts to investigate weaponization under the previous Administration will continue.”
FBI Director Kash Patel added, “Even while those who developed the unacceptable Richmond Catholic memo under the previous administration have been held accountable, releasing information to the public about what occurred under the prior regime is an important part of the process.”
