House GOP Discovers FBI's Pre-Interviews with Priest and Choir Director in Anti-Catholic Memo Investigation

The House Weaponization Committee report obtained by Fox News Digital reveals that the FBI interviewed a priest and a church choir director as part of its investigation into traditional Catholics, while determining that there was no legitimate basis for the memo that categorized certain Catholic Americans as potential domestic terrorists. The report states that the FBI abused its counterterrorism tools and proposed developing sources among the Catholic clergy and church leadership. The committee found errors in the drafting, review, approval, and removal process of the memo, which relied on a single investigation and failed to define the meaning of "radical-traditionalist Catholic." The FBI denies conducting an investigation based on religion and claims the memo was quickly removed from all FBI systems.
