Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association said that President Donald Trump now is a “changed person”, as a result of the reports that Trump had an affair with a porn star.
Graham during a CNN interview said that he is “more interested in who a person is today”, than what they were in the past.
“And I believe that he’s a changed person and I’ve never seen anybody get attacked like he gets attacked,” Graham commented, adding that Trump continuously is attacked by the media every single day.
Graham comments referred at a report that Trump’s lawyer paid a six-figure payment to a former adult-film star, in order to keep quiet of the alleged sexual encounter with Trump.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that Michael Cohen — an attorney for the Trump Organization at the time and now Trump’s personal lawyer — arranged for Stephanie Clifford, known by her stage name of Stormy Daniels, to receive $130,000 as part of a nondisclosure agreement one month before the 2016 presidential election.
“These alleged affairs, they’re alleged with Trump, didn’t happen while he was in office,” Graham commented during the interview.
Graham praised President Trump for his job as president during his first year and asked people to look at the strong economy before they criticize.
“We’re all getting helped by Donald Trump’s business expertise coming into Washington,” Graham said.
When asked if Trump should be a moral authority for the U.S., Graham responded, “I hope and pray that he will be a better moral authority in these next three years.”
According to The Hill, Graham has also defended the president in the past. Earlier this month, he defended Trump after reports that the President referred to Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries.” Graham said in a statement earlier this month that Trump was being “beaten up for saying something that he says he didn’t say.”
