DENVER (AP) - The Democratic chairman of the Senate Finance Committee has thrown his support behind an investigation of allegations of lavish spending and lax oversight at a half-dozen "prosperity gospel" Christian ministries.
Sen. Max Baucus of Montana joined with Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa in urging cooperation from four ministries questioned by Grassley in early November, according to a statement Wednesday from the Iowa senator's office.
Three of those ministries have pledged to fight the inquiry. The follow-up letters from the two senators gave them a March 31 deadline for turning over the requested information.
