Was Scott Smith Scrutinized by FBI? DOJ Probes Biden-Era Response to Parents
The report says the FBI opened 25 Guardian assessments, and DOJ is reviewing files for possible constitutional rights violations.
- On Monday, the Justice Department's Weaponization Working Group reported that the FBI opened 25 "Guardian assessments" involving parents following an October 2021 memorandum issued by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland addressing threats against school officials.
- Five days after the National School Boards Association sent a letter to President Joe Biden citing "domestic terrorism" concerns, Garland issued a directive ordering federal authorities to coordinate with local law enforcement regarding school board threats.
- Scott Smith, a Loudoun County father arrested in June 2021 after questioning his daughter's rape at Stone Bridge High School, believes he was among the 25 parents scrutinized, though the Justice Department has not confirmed his status.
- Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich expressed "vindication" following the report, while the Justice Department announced a review of investigative files to determine if any individuals had their constitutional rights violated.
- Most of the 25 Guardian assessments are now closed, according to the report, and more than a dozen Justice Department and FBI employees raised internal concerns regarding federal jurisdiction and potential First Amendment issues.
