Investigation into Georgia televangelists
The top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee said today he has launched an investigation into alleged financial wrongdoing involving six well-known televangelists -- including two based in Georgia. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa sent letters to six Christian media ministries this week requesting information about their expenses, executive compensation and amenities given to executives. Among them are Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia and Creflo Dollar Ministries of College Park. Allegations include generous salaries and housing allowances and amenities such as private jets and Rolls Royces.
