Religious group scrubs all references to Amy Coney Barrett from its websitehttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/30/people-of-praise-amy-coney-barrett-website
A tiny religious organization tied to Amy Coney Barrett, Donald Trumps supreme court nominee, sought to erase all mentions and photos of her from its website before she meets with lawmakers and faces questions at her Senate confirmation hearings.
Barrett, a federal appeals judge, has declined to publicly discuss her decades-long affiliation with People of Praise, a Christian group that opposes abortion and holds that men are divinely ordained as the head of the family and faith.
Former members have said the groups leaders teach that wives must submit to the will of their husbands.
A spokesman for the organization has declined to say whether the judge and her husband, Jesse Barrett, are members.
But an analysis by the Associated Press shows that People of Praise erased numerous records from its website during the summer of 2017 that referred to Barrett and included photos of her and her family.
At the time, Barrett was on Trumps shortlist for the high court seat that eventually went to Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
