Former Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr. took a swipe at members of the media this week following news that the school would launch an independent investigation into his nearly 13-year tenure.

"I welcome [the investigation] because it will prove that all you guys are liars," Falwell told Reuters this week, referring to the press, according to a story published Friday. "You got nothing," he reportedly added.

The longtime university president and vocal Trump supporter told Reuters that he's looking forward to the university's investigation, which will include examinations of financial, real estate and legal matters.

He also reportedly warned the outlet not to question his two adult sons, both of whom are still employed by the university.

The wire service has published a series of stories about Falwell and the school in recent months.

“Trust me, you do not want to mess with me, OK?” Falwell said on the call this week, according to the outlet.

28. Falwell Jr. certainly is a despicable snake, but a big part of me says

that the type of people who paid him money to attend his "university" or his church services deserved to be scammed. Such is the price they should pay for their unwillingness to employ critical thinking.

[yellowcanine]

40. That's fine except that Liberty Students get federal aid to help pay tuition.

Pell grants, subsidized loans, etc. So taxpayer money was going into Falwell's pocket, indirectly yes. but it still got there.

From the Reuters story today:

The tax-exempt Liberty relies on hundreds of millions of dollars in Pell grants and government-backed student loans. Liberty students received $618 million in federal taxpayer loans and aid in a single year, according to a 2018 audit report.

I think this is the reason he was playing up the sex scandal. To take the focus off his real crimes. Silly Kristians!
