WASHINGTON (VINnews) — Carrie Prejean Boller said she has not been removed from President Donald Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, disputing a public statement by the panel’s chairman claiming she had been ousted.

In a letter posted on social media Wednesday night, Prejean Boller addressed Chairman Patrick by name and said he lacked the authority to remove her from the commission.

“As the name states, this is President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, not yours,” she wrote. “You did not appoint me to the Commission, and you lack authority to remove me from it.”

Prejean Boller said the commission was created by executive order and that members were appointed by the president. She argued that nothing in the order grants the chairman the power to dismiss presidential appointees and said she would continue serving unless she received written notice from the president requesting her removal.

“Unless and until I receive written notice from the President of the United States requesting my removal, I will continue to defend religious freedom for all religions on this Commission,” she wrote.

Dear Chairman Patrick,

I write in response to your public statement falsely claiming that you “removed” me from President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission.

As the name states, this is President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, not yours.

In the letter, she also accused the chairman of overstepping his role and alleged that his actions reflected a “Zionist political agenda,” rather than the mission of the commission or the Constitution. She said she was targeted for her “deeply held religious beliefs” and vowed to continue participating in upcoming hearings.

Prejean Boller concluded by stating she would not step down and reaffirmed her commitment to what she described as defending religious liberty for all Americans.

It was not immediately clear whether the White House had issued any formal notice regarding her status on the commission.
