President Joe Biden announced that he was appointing Khizr Khan
By Donald Judd
Khan, who endorsed Biden in 2020, said in 2016 that Trump “sacrificed nothing and no one,” before raising a copy of the US Constitution, asking if Trump had ever read it. Khan’s son, Army Capt. Humayun Khan, died in Baghdad in 2004.
The White House on Friday recognized Khan, a founder of the Constitution Literacy and National Unity Project, as “an advocate for religious freedom as a core element of human dignity.” The announcement said that Khan “devotes a substantial amount of his time to providing legal services to veterans, men and women serving in uniform, and their families.”
