The cause of death is not yet known, but Bishop Harry Jackson Jr’s death was announced by the Hope christian Church today.
Bishop Harry Jackson Jr., an influential Maryland pastor and evangelical adviser to President Trump, died Monday at the age of 66, according to his church.
“It is with a heavy heart that we notify you that our beloved Bishop Harry R. Jackson, Jr. has transitioned to be with the Lord on November 9, 2020,” officials with Hope Christian Church said in a statement.
Jackson, whose cause of death remains unclear, was invited to the White House for multiple events over the last few years, including a Good Friday prayer that he led at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
He also attended Trump’s closing speech at the Republican National Convention in August and recently joined a Rose Garden event where the president nominated now-Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Religious News Service reported.
