Trump ally and Tulsa pastor Jackson Lahmeyer has quit his congressional race and stepped back from the pulpit in Oklahoma after admitting this week that he cheated on his wife with former Miss Oklahoma USA Caitlin Simmons Key in 2022, following a bombshell investigation that exposed their relationship. The 34-year-old married father of five, who founded the pro-Trump evangelical group Pastors for Trump, confirmed to the Daily Mail that he had an affair with Key and said he was 'done with politics' after his campaign collapsed in Tuesday's Republican primary.
For context, Lahmeyer had initially tried to brush off the original tabloid report, dismissing it as a hit piece from 'a British tabloid' as he fought to save his Trump-backed bid for Congress in Oklahoma. But the story did not go away. The Daily Mail published explicit text messages between Lahmeyer and Key, a 40-year-old single mother and longtime conservative activist, and then Key herself went on the record, describing repeated kisses and hinting that the pair's contact had gone further.
