Later, Paul sought to mediate

Charles Taylor, the disgraced leader of Liberia, attributed Paul's intervention to his decision to abdicate. Later, Paul sought to mediate in the Libyan crisis and met with Gaddafi leading to a peace deal. However, he said that then secretary of state Hillary Clinton had nixed the deal pushing Libya into a war situation.

"In a communication dated June 16 this year, director of coalitions for Trump campaign, Alan Cobb asked me if Paul would be interested in serving on their faith advisory board. This followed a series of meetings that Paul had with Trump family members since January to pray with them for the candidature of Trump," said GPI executive director and Republican Party communications consultant, David Mc Quade. "Paul knows how to bring peace whether in a family, neighbourhood or any troubled part of the world," he said.
