WATCH: Sen HawleyMO is accusing AG Merrick Garland of lying under oath about the FBI’s targeting of Catholic churches. Hawley sent a letter to Garland, noting Garland’s recent testimony before SenJudiciaryGOP conflicts with findings by JudiciaryGOP.
On Tuesday, Hawley sent a letter to Garland’s office, noting the attorney general’s recent testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee conflicts with findings by the House Judiciary Committee that indicate the FBI is “cultivating sources and spies” within Catholic churches across the U.S.
“Your response could not have been clearer: according to you, the Department of Justice ‘does not have any bias against any religion of any kind,’” Hawley’s letter said. “I asked you ‘how many informants do you have in Catholic churches across America?’ You denied the claim a third time: ‘I don’t know, and I don’t believe we have any informants aimed at Catholic churches.’ All of this was false.”
“Now we know that is exactly what they were doing,” Hawley said. “They are infiltrating churches. ... They regard churches apparently as the enemy and churchgoing Americans as akin to terrorists. And yeah, the attorney general sat there and told me, 'No, we don’t do that,' and now we know they do, in fact, target churches. ... The House needs to call him. The Senate should call him, too, but the Democrats will never do it.
