Dr. K.A. Paul, the evangelist who says he convinced House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) to resign over Foleygate, is upset that Hastert’s promise didn’t stick. So he’s calling a news conference:
Leading Evangelist Who Met with Hastert to Hold Major News Conference to Offer Details
Religious Leader Upset Speaker Hastert Broke 7 Day Commitment
News Advisory:
Dr. K. A. Paul, the evangelist who met and prayed with House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) at his home in Plano, Ill., will hold a news conference on Wednesday to outline what Speaker Hastert said to him about a 7-day commitment he made during the meeting.
The Sun-Times called the meeting a “serious security breach,” but a spokeswoman for the Capitol Police, which is responsible for Speaker Hastert’s security, said “this wasn’t a security breach,” according to the Capital Hill newspaper, Roll Call.
With the midterm elections next month, Paul has launched a crusade to save America from the wrath of God and Republicans abusing their power and mired in scandal. Paul has been supported and endorsed by major Republican and evangelical leaders across the country. He prayed with President Bush and mobilized thousands of voters in Florida to help him win the 2000 presidential election and has counseled more than 60 heads of state around the world.
