Falwell's son caught up in fraud case....ROFL...he was wiretapped

[Oilwellian]

This was all over the local news last night and it appears Falwell Ministries may have bribed the local mayor in return for a vote on rezoning. Jerry Jr. was interviewed and said it feels rather uncomfortable to have someone listening in to your private conversations. :D

In the early stages of the investigation, Hutcherson told investigators that Falwell Ministries donated the money to Trinity to help Lynchburg's inner city, but he soon changed his story to say he had solicited $80,000 from Falwell Ministries to pay his tax debt, documents show.

Finally, the motion claims, Hutcherson, who also owns a funeral home, told agents it was Jerry Falwell Jr.'s idea to "funnel the money through Trinity CDC to make a payment on the Funeral Home's debts."

Adding to that the fact that Hutcherson has a vote on the Lynchburg City Council, the government decided to investigate "the possibility that Mayor Hutcherson may have solicited a bribe in exchange for his influence and votes," the motion states.
