In the Blue Room of the White House, once the cameras recording the Easter prayer service cut off, the conversation at #Trump’s dinner table turned to one of the biggest political goals for #conservative#Christian activists — eliminating a #law that banned #churches, & other #TaxExempt charitable groups, from endorsing #political candidates.

Seated across from #Trump that April night, Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Dallas, told the president about how his #church faced an #IRS inquiry over its #TaxExempt status under the #Biden admin, after hosting a rally with #political figures.
Franklin Graham, the son of the #evangelist Billy Graham, who runs a large ministry with his father’s name, chimed in that his groups had faced similar IRS inquiries during President Barack #Obama’s tenure.
At #Trump’s request, Jeffress’s #church sent the White House Faith Office a 7-page letter outlining what it called “wrongful weaponization” of the #law & the “unlawful targeting of our church.” The letter, obtained by NYT, included recommended actions, & a mention of a Texas lawsuit, which offered a vehicle to declare that the law was wrong.
3 months later, #conservative#Christians scored a major victory.
