These are most serious charges ever leveled against a former US President, and white Evangelical leaders are directly responsible for the fact that this odious con man became President to begin with.
That is part of the Trump folly: a support of a syncretistic faith that kinda sorta looks like the Old Testament except without a coherent or supportable back story to tell for it. Jesus didn't undergo incarnation and present himself as the saving sacrifice of the world to support that worldly detritus. We're Christians, not Jewish, as though Christian Nationalism wrapped in the American flag were a valid way to see either faith following.
I do know of people who say God is nothing to them who still buy into the MAGA/GOP/Trump mystique. So we can't blame evangelicals straying from Christ for all of the Trump magic. But they're responsible for a lot of it.

I agree wholeheartedly.
