Trump held a Bible in front of a church near the White House, after federal officers cleared the streets of mostly peaceful protesters with tear gas and batons. The alleged photo-op shown live by some TV channels was widely denounced by religious leaders, given the racial tensions at the time.
Trump’s former defense secretary, Jim Mattis, broke his silence to condemn the clearing of protesters by force and the president’s rhetoric against protests generally as making “a mockery of our Constitution.”
