WASHINGTON (AA) - 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."
