Jerry Falwell Jr., the controversial president of Liberty University, who was placed on leave this month, has reportedly resigned after Reuters reported that he had been involved in a tryst that included his wife and a former pool attendant. Religion News Service reported on Monday that Falwell had stepped down. The Washington Post reported that he had agreed to resign.
Later on Monday, however, Falwell denied that he had stepped down. “I have not resigned,” he told Politico. “I will be on indefinite leave.”
