2. There was a connection, though not a direct one between Mike Johnson and Pressler.

Johnson was set to become the first dean of the new law school at Louisiana Christian University, which is the Southern Baptist-affiliated university in Louisiana. The law school was to be called the Judge Paul Pressler School of Law, and its purpose was to train lawyers from a Biblical worldview.

The school never opened, due to some financial mistakes and misteps, including with donors. And they claim they were not aware of any allegations of sexual abuse by Pressler at the time.

Mike Johnson is a Southern Baptist and was a supporter of the conservative resurgence, especially the political alignment of the denomination with the republican party, but there wasn't a direct connection known between him and Pressler.
