Leaked US DOJ Draft Claims Biden Administration Coordinated With Abortion Groups in Targeting Pro‑Life Activists

10.04.2026

A leaked draft report from the Department of Justice has raised serious concerns among pro‑life advocates, who say the document outlines alleged coordination between Biden administration DOJ officials and major pro‑abortion organisations. LifeSiteNews, which first broke the story, reports that the nearly 60‑page draft contains internal communications suggesting that prosecutor Sanjay Patel maintained unusually close contact with the National Abortion Federation (NAF) while the Biden administration pursued high‑profile FACE Act cases against pro‑life activists.

According to LifeSiteNews, pro‑life leaders Randall Terry and Terrisa Bukovinac were granted access to unredacted DOJ records earlier this year because both their names and organisations appear in the material. They say the documents reveal emails showing Patel communicating with NAF about fundraising events, advising the group on how to secure a major financial grant, and even discussing ways to increase prison time for pro‑life defendants.

Pro‑life advocates argue that these communications stand in stark contrast to the DOJ’s limited response to more than 70 attacks on pregnancy resource centers following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Terry told LifeSiteNews that the imbalance demonstrates what he views as a “clear pattern of bias” in how federal law has been enforced.

The leaked draft also reportedly includes emails in which Patel expressed concern that prosecuting pro‑abortion activists might make his alleged bias against pro‑lifers “too visible.” In another instance described by LifeSiteNews, Patel urged a judge to prevent a defendant from mentioning his atheism to the jury, claiming it could make him appear more sympathetic.

Bukovinac said the communications show a misuse of federal power that has harmed peaceful activists while shielding wrongdoing inside abortion facilities. The draft report is expected to be released publicly as early as next week, according to MS Now. Pro‑life organisations say they hope full transparency will follow, along with accountability for any misconduct uncovered.
