Al Sharpton’s finances are gaining scrutiny as his influences rises, the New York Timeswrites in a profile of Sharpton published Tuesday.
Sharpton’s visibility has slowly increased since he first gained prominence as a civil rights leader. His relationships with politicians such as New York Mayor Bill deBlasio, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and President Barack Obama have helped Sharpton gain traction on the national scene.
He has been in the news as much as ever this year, becoming a prominent advocate on behalf of the families of Eric Garner, a Staten Island man who died in police custody, and Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager who was killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo. He also has a daily platform through his show on MSNBC.
But while Sharpton’s influence is on the rise, so is scrutiny of his finances.
According to the Times, Sharpton has “more than $4.5 million in tax liens against him and his for-profit businesses.”
