Today, the Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group issued a report detailing how, under the previous Administration, the FBI’s Richmond Field Office associated beliefs held by many Catholics with domestic extremism and investigated two priests as a result. The report focuses on the production and circulation of an internal assessment known as the “Richmond Domain Perspective.” This assessment documented the purported rise of domestic extremism among those who hold conservative beliefs associated with a wide variety of Catholics. It also documented the investigation into two priests and the FBI’s surveillance of one of them.
