## LIE: Adam Hamilton’s church protected a predator and never reported abuse to law enforcement

**TRUTH:** These smears have been [repeatedly](https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article315922185.html) [debunked](https://kansasreflector.com/2026/05/29/kansas-democrats-campaign-manager-created-website-with-documents-used-in-attack-on-political-rival/) by [journalists](https://kansasreflector.com/2026/07/22/at-nations-largest-methodist-church-ex-employees-split-on-kansas-pastor-running-for-u-s-senate/) who actually examined public records: “Those records, which largely do not name Hamilton, show that his church conducted an internal investigation about the abuse, reported it to law enforcement after identifying the abuser and that Hamilton personally played a role in a report about additional abuse by the perpetrator.”

> …a series of court records reviewed by The Star paint a more complex picture that does not back up the core of his claims. Those records, which largely do not name Hamilton, show that his church conducted an internal investigation about the abuse, reported it to law enforcement after identifying the abuser and that Hamilton personally played a role in a report about additional abuse by the perpetrator.

Marshall is only resurfacing this smear to cover up his record of [voting to block the release of the Epstein files,](https://americanjournalnews.com/roger-marshall-has-an-epstein-files-problem/) protecting the worst predators and pedophiles from seeing justice. He called releasing the files a “political stunt,” said they were “not interesting” and accused people who wanted them released of having “psychosis.” Marshall himself received tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from men named in the Epstein files. Marshall also voted against re-authorizing the Violence Against Women Act, which funds programs for the victims of sexual assault.

Transcript: I’m Adam Hamilton and I approve this message. Roger Marshall’s at it again, lying about Adam Hamilton to cover up having his own patients arrested. The truth: over 20 years ago, Hamilton’s church reported incidents involving a volunteer to law enforcement and then cut ties with him. Hamilton later helped get this predator convicted. It’s Roger Marshall who’s failed to protect victims of predators. He blocked the release of the Epstein files, hiding crimes of pedophiles. Marshall protected the powerful, not us.
