Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr. Posts Photo With Pants' Zipper Down & Arm Around Young Woman (Image: Instagram)
President Donald Trump‘s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen claimed in his new book that Liberty University’s former president Jerry Falwell Jr. endorsed Trump back in 2016 for a particular reason – Falwell allegedly asked Trump to help prevent the leaking of his wife’s topless photos.
In an interview with CNN, Cohen recalled a time when he helped Falwell negotiate with another lawyer to block “personal photos between a husband and wife.”
Falwell has denied such Cohen’s quid pro quo allegations. “Someone stole some pictures I took of my wife in the back yard. Topless,” he said. “Big deal. Ok? It was no quid pro quo. There was no me supporting Trump because of whatever Michael was doing.”
