WASHINGTON (AP) —President Trump created a religious liberty commission.
The president signed an executive order creating the panel during a White House Rose Garden ceremony to recognize the National Day of Prayer.
Its members include Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, former U.S. housing secretary Ben Carson and TV talk-show host Phil McGraw. The commission was Patrick’s idea, Trump said.
Patrick told Trump, “There has never been a president who has invoked the name of Jesus more than you.”
McGraw said Trump is a “man of deep faith … who wants this country to have a heart and have religion.”
