On November 6, 2007, United States senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa announced an investigation of Copeland's ministry by the United States Senate Committee on Finance. Grassley asked for the ministry to divulge financial information to the committee to determine if Copeland made any personal profit from financial donations, and requested that Copeland's ministry make the information available by December 6, 2007. The investigation also scrutinized five other televangelists: Benny Hinn, Paula White, Eddie Long, Joyce Meyer, and Creflo Dollar.[3]
