Jackson was a frequent White House visitor who served as an unofficial evangelical adviser to Trump and attended a number of high-profile events this year, including the Republican National Convention and the ceremony where Justice Amy Coney Barrett was officially announced as Trumps Supreme Court nominee, Religion News reported. According to the Hope Christian Churchs website, Jackson has been the senior pastor at the ministry since 1988, when he transferred from Corning, New York.
Jackson was not only a pastor but also a political activist who frequently made appearances at White House events or more recently on the campaign trail with Republicans. On April 10, Jackson appeared in the Oval Office at a Good Friday gathering to offer a prayer. He said, Once again, give this great man, our president, and give the vice president wisdom beyond their natural limitations. Give them insights so they can cover us, lead us and bless us, Religion News reported.
Jackson also appeared at the White House ceremony for Trumps official announcement nominating Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court and also appeared alongside Vice President Mike Pence at a town hall on November 1, the outlet wrote. Jacksons church confirmed to the outlet in October that the pastor had tested negative for coronavirus after the White House event at which many attendees tested positive.

as far as we know, the only people in trump circles, that have died from Covid are black people. We don't know for sure if this guy died from Covid since they have not released a cause of death, but it seems strange that he dies suddenly after being exposed to all these people with Covid.
