From the Wall Street Journal:
Over a four-decade career as a preacher and televangelist, the 58-year-old White has become both enormously influential and controversial in the evangelical world. Her 24-year friendship with Trump, which she said began when he called her after seeing her preach on a Florida TV station, has culminated in a role that combines religion and politics in ways that have little precedent in modern White House history.
In addition to advising the White House office set up to empower faith groups, White has repeatedly been photographed leading prayer sessions in which she and others—heads bowed and eyes closed—lay their hands on the president, including in the Oval Office.
