Lynn Packer on Investigating Paul H. Dunn

In this interview, Skyler interviews distinguished journalist Lynn Packer about his book Lying for the Lord: The Paul H. Dunn Stories. The second most popular LDS General Authority in his time - Paul H. Dunn was in the Presidency of the Seventy, and was famous for his faith-promoting stories. But were those stories true?

Following his investigation into the AFCO fraud scandal (of which Elder Dunn was a part) Lynn continued to investigate and found that the lies and fraud went deeper than most are willing to face, even now.
