Mississippi pastor regrets that his viral pro-Trump video dredged up his criminal past

“I just made that video with absolutely no intention of anybody seeing it to be honest with you except our little circle,” said Vaughn, who describes his congregation as a Pentecostal Unitarian church.

The video was shared so widely that USA Today gave it a fact check, saying his claims lacked context and failed to mention the steps necessary to throw the election to the House, and Vaughn followed up with additional videos.

But the video’s popularity also dredged up his 2010 arrest for insurance and bank fraud in Louisiana, for which he served three years in prison.
