Texas GOP Governor Greg Abbott has escalated his campaign against the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), formally asking U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to suspend the Muslim civil-rights organization’s federal tax-exempt status and launch an immediate investigation into its activities.
In a letter sent on Monday, Abbott accused CAIR of functioning as a direct subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood and a front group for Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist group responsible for the atrocities committed in Israel on October 7, 2023.
