Trump to establish task force against ‘anti-Christian bias,’ names Pam Bondi as lead

WASHINGTON

US President Donald Trump on Thursday announced he will sign an executive order to make new Attorney General Pam Bondi the head of a task force "to eradicate anti-Christian bias."

"The mission of this task force will be to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ which was absolutely terrible," Trump said at a National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC

He said he would create a "brand new presidential commission on religious liberty."

Additionally, Trump said he would create the "White House faith office," led by Pastor Paula White, a Christian televangelist who served as an adviser to Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

He said he wants to bring "religion back," adding: "We have to have religion, and it suffered greatly over the last few years. But it's coming back."
