April 21 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump will read verses from the Old Testament that will be streamed across the country Tuesday evening as part of a week-long "America Reads the Bible" event to mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Trump's reading of 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 will go out online on the faith-based Pure Flix app and streamed via the America Reads the Bible website a week after he recorded the two-and-a-half minute passage to camera, reading from the bible in the Oval Office.
The recording will also be played at the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C.
The White House confirmed Trump's involvement to USA Today on Monday.
Other members of the administration, including chief of staff Susie Wiles, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, were among almost 500 people taking part in the event which was organized by Christians Engaged, a non-profit that promotes change through prayer, voting and civic participation.
