Department of Justice Anti-Semitism Task Force Chair Leo Terrell: I will 'ELIMINATE Jewish Taxes in America!' | 12 July 2025 | The Trump administration is launching another offensive against Washington, D.C. -- a city President Donald Trump has long insulted and sought to overhaul -- this time over allegations of a "lukewarm" response from D.C. officials to rising threats of anti-Semitism in the nation's capital. Leo Terrell, the chair of the Department of Justice's Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, slammed Mayor Muriel Bowser for her "lukewarm response" to a "crisis" of anti-Semitism in the city in a series of posts to his X account this week. Terrell posted a back-and-forth with Bowser's office over his request to meet directly with the mayor to discuss rising anti-Semitism in the city -- including what he said were "Jewish taxes" levied against the community in the form of increased security costs. Terrell posted Saturday on X: "I am going to ELIMINATE Jewish Taxes in America!."
