President Trump will headline the White House Religious Liberty Commission on Monday morning at Washington’s Museum of the Bible — a visit his administration says will hammer home his defense of faith in America.
“The previous administration abused the federal government’s power to interfere with Americans’ First Amendment right to religious freedom. They even used the Department of Justice to target peaceful people of faith, specifically Christians,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told NewsNation’s Libbey Dean.
“This is exactly why President Trump established the Religious Liberty Commission to stop the emerging threats against Americans’ inalienable right to practice their religion freely,” Rogers added. “President Trump is the greatest defender for people of faith in modern history and will continue to protect and promote America’s founding principle of religious freedom.”
