LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Arkansas’ attorney general has sued Missouri-based TV
pastor Jim Bakker over his promotion of a product falsely touted as a cure for
the illness caused by the coronavirus. Attorney General Leslie Rutledge filed
the lawsuit in Arkansas against Bakker and Morningside Church Productions. It
comes three months after the state of Missouri filed a similar lawsuit. The
lawsuit says 385 Arkansans purchased approximately $60,524 worth of colloidal
silver, a product often sold on the internet as a dietary supplement. The liquid
solution has often been falsely peddled as a miracle solution to boost the
immune system and cure diseases.
