After prayer breakfast, Trump creates task force to root out 'anti-Christian bias'
President Donald Trump says at a private religious group's Washington prayer breakfast he's forming a commission on religious liberty. Trump also said at the hotel ballroom event Thursday he'll name Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead a task force to “eradicate anti-Christian bias.” Earlier in the day, Trump advocated at the National Prayer Breakfast at the Capitol for Americans to “bring God back” into their lives and said his relationship with religion “changed” after a pair of failed assassination attempts last year. Trump joined a more than 70-year-old Washington tradition that brings together a bipartisan group of lawmakers for fellowship. The nondenominational Christian says he believes “you can’t be happy without religion.”

US Justice Department drops case against Texas doctor charged with leaking transgender care data
Federal prosecutors have dropped the case against a Texas doctor who called himself a whistleblower on transgender care for minors and was accused of illegally obtaining private information on patients who weren’t under his care. The dismissal of the case against Dr. Eithan Haim in U.S. district court in Houston on Friday comes as the Trump administration in its first week has already issued executive orders rolling back transgender rights. Federal prosecutors had said that Haim, a 34-year-old surgeon, took the information and shared it with a conservative activist with “intent to cause malicious harm” to Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, one of the nation’s largest pediatric hospitals.
