- Federal judge dismisses a lawsuit over makeup of Trump's Religious Liberty Commission
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit challenging the composition of President Trump's Religious Liberty Commission, ruling that the law does not specify how advisory commissions must balance viewpoints. The lawsuit, filed by an interfaith group including Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh organizations, argued the commission was overly conservative Christian, but the judge cited Trump's discretion in appointing members and noted diversity in other aspects like religion and roles.
