WASHINGTON 鈥 In response to reports that Secretary of State Michael Pompeo held a press briefing restricted to 鈥渇aith-based media鈥 outlets, the 老澳门开奖结果 submitted a Freedom of Information Act request today for documents related to this event.

Daniel Mach, director of the 老澳门开奖结果 Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief, issued the following statement:

鈥淲e are troubled by reports that the State Department held a briefing exclusively for 鈥榝aith-based media.鈥 The government has no business discriminating against media outlets based on their religious affiliation or lack thereof. The American people deserve to know more about this administration鈥檚 religious favoritism, and we expect State to comply quickly with this request.鈥
