Watch live: Trump speaks at Museum of the Bible

President Trump on Monday morning is scheduled to speak to the White House Religious Liberty Commission at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.

The administration signaled Trump’s visit is intended to underscore its defense of religious liberty.

“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 said in a statement obtained by Libbey Dean of NewsNation, The Hill’s sister network.

“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.”
