GOP lawmakers challenge DOJ and FBI over alleged targeting of Catholic organizations.

Senator Josh Hawley accused Attorney General Merrick Garland of providing false testimony to the Senate last month when he said his department is not developing sources inside Catholic churches and other houses of worship, and demanded to know how many "undercover informants or other agents" are aiding the department from these religious sites. Hawley called on Garland to provide answers "immediately" on how many agents DOJ would "work with or otherwise employ" at both Catholic parishes and "in religious organizations more broadly."
