Attorney General Merrick Garland distanced himself Wednesday from an FBI memo labeling some practicing Catholics as extremists who deserve scrutiny, saying he was “appalled” by the insinuation.
“Catholics are not extremists,” he said, bristling at any suggestion that he would have countenanced targeting Americans because of the nature of their religious beliefs.
“The idea that someone with my family background would discriminate against any religion is so outrageous, is so absurd,” Mr. Garland said in testimony to the House Judiciary Committee.
