Feds Investigate Al Sharpton's Tax Payments; Sharpton Criticizes Clinton

The word on the street is that Reverend Al Sharpton (and his businesses) owe back taxes and late penalties of around 1.5 million dollars to both New York and the federal government. The attorney general is also conducting an investigation into his National Action Network non-profit.

Sharpton and his associates have depicted this errors as growing pains; keeping up with an influx of donations and revenues proved too much for NAN accountants to handle. Further, Sharpton has characterized these investigations as harassment and typical of the government's treatment of civil rights leaders.

Meanwhile, Sharpton continues to criticize Hilary Clinton for not dropping out of the race for the Democratic nomination. He likened her continued battle for the nomination to a deluded entertainer in an interview with New York 1: "The worst thing in the world is when an entertainer doesn't know when the show is over. The audience is gone, the lights are down, you're getting ready to cut the mics off and you are still on the stage singing. It's over, it's all right, it's over. Come sing another day, but this show is over for Sen. Clinton."
