Top Cabinet members launch Anti-Christian Bias Task Force as federal employees are urged to report incidents. Attorney General Pam Bondi hosted several Cabinet members and government officials at the Justice Department today to launch the Trump administration’s Anti-Christian Bias Task Force.

“Together, this task force will identify any “unlawful, anti-Christian policies, practices or conduct across the government,” Bondi said at the beginning of a meeting with the secretaries of Defense, State, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services, among others.

Bondi said the task force will be asking faith-based organizations and state governments for input to end anti-Christian bias. And Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche added that that the task force will “investigate what went wrong” over the last four years.

Shortly after the meeting started, some government agency employees received an email about the newly launched task force and how it would be implanted at other agencies in addition to the Justice Department.

“The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is establishing its own Task Force to better effectuate the Department’s internal review,” according to a letter obtained by CNN sent to employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

It included 11 examples of events to report, including any “adverse reaction to requests for religious exemption under the previous vaccine mandates” and “any retaliatory actions taken or threatened in response to abstaining from certain procedures or treatments (for example: abortions or hormone therapy).

Notable members at the task force’s meeting included Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Education Secretary Linda McMahon and FBI Director Kash Patel. – From CNN’s Casey Gannon and Gabe Cohen.
