DOJ report alleges Biden administration IRS discriminated against Christian groups based on religious and political views
A Department of Justice report examining religious bias across federal agencies found that the IRS under Biden denied tax-exempt status to a Christian organization after determining its Bible-based teachings aligned with Republican political views. The report alleges the IRS failed to apply restrictions on political activity by tax-exempt groups in a viewpoint-neutral manner, appearing to scrutinize Christians with conservative views while ignoring liberal political endorsements at other churches. The report cites specific statements from an IRS director linking the organization's religious doctrine to Republican party affiliation as disqualifying grounds.
