This seven-month investigation is based on more than 100 interviews and several thousand pages of public documents. It also included numerous attempts to interview Johnson, who refused all requests.
Over and over, there were warning signs for government officials, law enforcement, political leaders and others. Yet, virtually nothing was done. For years, Johnson broke laws. Now, he helps make them.
In his latest feat, Johnson catapulted himself into the Kentucky Capitol in 2016 as representative for the 49th House District.
To hear him tell it, Johnson has been on stage nearly his whole life. Like Forrest Gump, he just so happens to be in the front row, playing a pivotal role in America’s biggest moments. Time after time. Decade after decade.
He claims he served as White House chaplain to three presidents. A United Nations ambassador. He says he set up the morgue after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and was the pastor who gave last rites for all of those pulled from the towers.
He’s healed the sick and raised the dead. He helped quell the riots in Los Angeles that followed the acquittal of three police officers in connection with the beating of Rodney King. He loves people of all races and religions, and he had a seat at the table for international peace talks.
All this despite his history of hate speech, racist Facebook posts and general derision for African-Americans and Muslims. All this, despite his own secrets.

Suicide is not cowardly.We dont know for sure but it sure looks like a cowardly move to me. Talked all that shit about god then he commits suicide?Coward
No, don't say that Asclepias....we don't know the anguish and pain he was under.
He must have felt completely lost and with no way out.
It's all very sad. We must feel compassion.
It is mental illness.

Johnson refused multiple requests for an interview from KyCIR in the course of the seven-month investigation.
Maranda Richmond spoke with KyCIR at length and agreed to go public with her story. Richmond shared a Facebook message from Johnson and notes from her counselor in the months after Johnson allegedly assaulted her. Richmond’s complaint to police was made in 2013, well before Johnson was a candidate for political office.

In this case, it looks like the man had built a false persona different enough from his reality that he could not stand to live to see it crumble in truths harsh light.

Not being suicidal does not mean not feeling guilty. This ain't ancient Japan, ya know. Dishonor does not require sepiku.Are you trying to frame suicide as noble?But have you noticed the demrats never commit suicide?
I wonder why.
Sad all the same.
No, I'm not.
I guess it's a matter of conscience ....of feeling guilty .....
Demrats never feel guilty.
Why are you using terms you don't understand and cannot spell?
It's "seppuku".

Yes, NPR is notoriously unbiased media.
