FBI Probes Amy Coney Barrett's Faith Group
Ben Wilson
October 3, 2023
The FBI is reportedly probing a Christian faith group that counts Catholic Supreme Court justice Amy Coney Barrett as a member, months after Republicans accused the agency of targeting Catholics.
The agency has interviewed several people who claim they were abused by members of the group, People of Praise, sources told the Guardian. Barrett, who was elevated to the Supreme Court by former president Donald Trump, has been a member of the South Bend, Indiana-based group for decades.
It is not clear whether the agency has launched a full investigation or is just conducting interviews.
Some former members have accused the group of covering up abuse, the Guardian reported:
The individuals were contacted following a years-long effort by a group called PoP Survivors, who have called for the South Bend-based sect to be investigated for leaders’ handling of sexual abuse allegations. The body, which has 54 members, has alleged that abuse claims were routinely mishandled or covered up for decades in order to protect the close-knit faith group.

This must stem from that nut lady.... the "lady" (Coral Anika Theill) that said this...
In three September Facebook posts, she styled evangelical Christians "the American Taliban," compared Judge Barrett to a witch doctor, and mocked a Trump supporter who died of the coronavirus, calling him a "#covidiot." She also attacked the president himself, comparing him and his supporters to the Nazi regime and Jim Jones's Peoples Temple cult.
"This administration needs to be tried just like in Nuremberg!" she wrote on Facebook on Sept. 15.
