The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.
The department, according to a copy of an internal cable obtained by POLITICO, will work with an administration-wide task force to collect information “involving anti-religious bias during the last presidential administration” and will collect examples of anti-Christian bias through anonymous employee report forms.
The cable was sent out to embassies around the world under Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s name. The instructions also were released in a department-wide notice.

I think the book of Tobit was also influential to historical Jesus’s thought, and maybe even 1 Enoch. If he didn’t read those texts himself, I think at least you can make the argument that he was influenced by the kinds of thoughts/movements those texts were associated with.
Man, these guys would love Islam.
