Paula White to head Trump's faith office
Paula White, a Pentecostal preacher and longtime adviser to President Donald Trump, has been tapped to head the White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative, a successor to previous administrations’ faith-based office that coordinates outreach to religious communities.
“Paula White is the Advisor to the [White House] Faith and Opportunity Initiative,” reads a statement the White House sent to Religion News Service. A White House spokesperson later said, “She is heading up that initiative.” The news of White’s new role was first reported by the New York Times.
The appointment of the popular author and former pastor of a Florida megachurch, sometimes called “the Trump whisperer” for her closeness to the president, has been long anticipated.
