Televangelists escape penalty in Senate inquiry
NEW YORK -- A senator's high-profile investigation of spending by televangelists has wrapped up after more than three years with no penalties for the pastors who refused to cooperate and no definitive findings of wrongdoing.
The report released Thursday Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley shows four ministers who refused to provide full information, including two from Georgia. They are Creflo Dollar of World Changers Church Inteational in College Park and Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist church in Lithonia.
Long was recently sued by four young men who claim he coerced them into sexual relationships. The bishop has denied the allegations.
Grassley's report raises questions about the personal use of church-owned airplanes, luxury homes and credit cards by pastors and their families.
