The months-old White House Faith Office wants to see the United States as the leader in advancing religious freedom, its faith director Jennifer Korn said.

“We were founded by religion, we were founded by faith in God, and you can look at the founders’ founding words and the prayers that they had,” she said during an interview with “Capitol Report,” broadcast by The Epoch Times’ sister media outlet, NTD. “So we need to get back to those roots and make sure that we are that beacon of freedom for others.”
