Falwell respondsAfter this story was published, Jerry Falwell spoke by phone with Reuters. Falwell said he endorsed Trump, at Cohen's behest, because Falwell "believed that a businessman needed to run this country."

Jerry Falwell has denied involvement, saying the sexual relationship was between his wife and Granda only.
