President Donald Trump has signed an executive order meant to give faith groups a voice in Washington and protect religious organizations from government overreach.
The president signed the document on May 3, which he earlier proclaimed National Prayer Day. The order establishes the White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative, which is tasked with advising the president on how policies impact faith groups and serves as a watchdog to protect religious organizations from government outreach.
