Church said leaders ‘failed to inquire further’ after learning that Robert Morris, former adviser to Trump, molested girl for several years

A Dallas-area Christian megachurch has removed four of its elders after an internal investigation into how the institution handled revelations of child sexual abuse by its founder, a former spiritual adviser to Donald Trump.

An official at Gateway church announced during a service on Saturday that the ousted leaders either knew that Robert Morris molested a girl for several years beginning in 1982, when she was 12, or “failed to inquire further” after being informed of it, the Dallas Morning News reported.
