(CNN) - Attorney General Bill Barr decried attacks on religious values in a speech Friday, tying a movement of "militant secularism" to societal maladies including the opioid epidemic and "an increase in senseless violence." "The campaign to destroy the traditional moral order has coincided and I believe has brought with it immense suffering and misery. And yet the forces of secularism, ignoring these tragic results, press on with even greater militancy," Barr said.

Reps. Eric Swalwell and Jackie Speier, California Democrats on the Intelligence committee, told CNN they have canceled events in their districts next week to prepare for potential action on the panel.
