FBI investigated mom over ties to ‘right-wing' Moms for Liberty group, bombshell DOJ report reveals
2026-10-07
[FoxNews] One mother was investigated after a tip cited her gun ownership and membership in a 'right-wing mom's group'

Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich says her organization feels "vindication" after a new Justice Department report revealed the FBI opened dozens of assessments involving parents following a controversial Biden-era directive targeting threats against school officials, including an investigation stemming from a tip that cited one mother's membership in a "right-wing mom’s group."

"My reaction and our reaction at Moms for Liberty is vindication," Descovich told Fox News Digital. "We feel… we're finally being heard."

Descovich said parents involved with her organization became fearful of speaking publicly after the Justice Department and FBI's response to heated school board battles beginning in 2021, claiming some received calls asking about their mental health and whether they had weapons in their homes.

"Parents were afraid to show up," Descovich said. "They were afraid to lose their jobs. They were members of our organization, sometimes privately and silently standing with us, but too afraid to speak out because of what our government did in the United States of America. We need to not forget where we were in 2021 as we go into these midterm elections."

The Justice Department's Weaponization Working Group reported Monday that the FBI opened 25 "Guardian assessments" involving parents following then-Attorney General Merrick Garland's Oct. 4, 2021, memorandum addressing threats against school officials.

The report says an FBI whistleblower disclosed that one mother was investigated following a tip that noted she was a gun owner and belonged to what was described as a "right-wing mom's group." A separate joint DOJ-Education Department release identified that organization as Moms for Liberty.

"We have known since 2021 that the DOJ and the FBI under the Biden administration were basically enemies to parents and to Moms for Liberty," Descovich said. "Our parents were getting phone calls after attending school board meetings asking if they had mental health problems, if they had weapons in their home. They were given case numbers and file numbers. And this latest report that's come out and press release from the DOJ and the DOE acknowledging that fact and declaring that, officially, parents are not domestic terrorists. It's almost ridiculous. It's absurd that that's happened in America and that has to be the headline today that we're actually returning to normalcy."
