Defending himself against charges of academic misconduct last week, American Association of Christian Counselors president and Trump advisor Tim Clinton blamed a former employee for lifting material from other sources for use in articles which carried Clinton’s byline. Even though AACC’s code of ethics discourages ghostwriters, Clinton blamed an employee who functioned in that manner for material in his articles which came from other sources.
One online article by Clinton, “Press On,” (cached)* which contained plagiarized material was first published in the book Ignite Your Faith by Clinton and Max Davis. Because I wanted to find out how the copied content got into “Press On,” I contacted Davis for comment (I also contacted Clinton with no response).
When I contacted Davis, he said he did not have any part in writing the devotional “Press On.” He added that he always checks his sources and “never once in all my years as a writer has this happened” referring to copied content ending up in one of his books.
He also wanted me to know that he was not the fired AACC employee blamed by Clinton for academic misconduct to the Christian Post.
*The same article with the title “Strive to Excel” was once posted on Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk website. It is archived here.

as his lies continue to be brought to light, I anticipate some serious back pedaling soon or, I hope, a genuine apology.
Then I suspect you will be disappointed. Someone who continues to affirm the claim that Donald Trump is a born again believer isn’t really interested in promoting the truth, or apologizing for past mistakes.
