The son of Jerry Falwell Jr. is out of his job as vice president at Liberty University nearly eight months after his father resigned as president of the Christian school amid allegations of inappropriate personal behavior and financial self-dealing.

Liberty University spokesperson Scott Lamb on Wednesday confirmed to POLITICO that Trey Falwell was “no longer employed by the university.” That development, Lamb said, occurred “this week,” but he declined to provide any additional details about what happened. Lamb also declined to answer questions about whether Jerry Falwell Jr.’s other son, Wesley, or his daughters-in-law were currently employed by the university. Liberty “does not answer questions about personnel,” he said.

The move is a strong signal that the powerhouse evangelical university is seeking aggressively to distance itself from its former president — even as he hints at a possible comeback. Falwell, the eldest son of Liberty’s founder, the late Rev. Jerry Falwell Sr. — has been advertising his visits to the university on social media. He told POLITICO in an interview published earlier this month that the Liberty community still embraces him.

11. Larry Flynt and Jerry Fawell, Sr. were good friends

Flynt was anything but with Jerry Fawell, Jr. though.

"Lumping Junior into a “sorry parade of charlatans” including disgraced preachers Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggart and Paula White, Flynt alleges the 58-year-old eschews Christian values and practices “prosperity gospel,” which puts money above morality."

8. That place and the Falwell family deserve each other.

To say they were made for each other, you'd have to say "OF course!" Liberty was built in Jerry's image.
