Ah, the traveling preacher story.Morris faces five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child.

Clemishire’s disclosure came as the Dallas religious community was still reeling from a handful of recent sex abuse scandals.

And in 2021, Morris was part of an effort to mobilize conservatives and evangelicals ahead of Trump’s 2024 presidential bid.
