NEW YORK Federal authorities have subpoenaed financial records and employees in an apparent probe of the Rev. Al Sharpton's 2004 presidential bid, nonprofit civil rights group, and for-profit businesses, a newspaper reported Thursday.
As many as 10 Sharpton associates were subpoenaed Wednesday to testify before a federal grand jury in Brooklyn Dec. 26, his lawyer told the Daily News.
They were told to provide investigators with financial records from the campaign and roughly six Sharpton-related businesses, as well as personal financial documents of Sharpton and his wife, the newspaper said.
The FBI and Internal Revenue Service are seeking the records, which go back to 2001, according to the Daily News.
A Sharpton spokeswoman did not immediately return phone calls or e-mail messages early Thursday.
An FBI agent who answered the phone at the agency's New York headquarters declined to comment, and an agency spokesman did not immediately return a telephone message. An IRS spokesman did not immediately return phone calls.

Glad to hear Al is not above the law.
How long has DOJ wanted to do this for. Gotta believe that it would have never happened under Gonzalez. Thank you Judge Mukasey!!!
As they say, "A new broom sweeps clean."
Gotta wonder why news folks and shows invite this buffoon on their shows. He is a pathetic human.
"It is significant that that only women are used, in a sector in which there is a considerable percentage of men," the institute, which is part of the Labor and Social Affairs Ministry, said in a statement.
Why is a government office concerned with this?
My comment was essentially this: "Well, perhaps the good offices are concerned that ***s are not equally represented in the calender, as well."
Bang, out goes the comment.
My statement was meant to allude to the fact that the EU, especially Spain and Portugal, have become foremost champions of everything homosexual, including legal action against the Catholic Church for holding that homosexuality is a sin.
Back on point, I am wondering if FR is becoming the type of forum where that viewpoint is unwelcome.
As far as the word "f*g," I agree with you - that is one of the nicer things that I might choose to say, PC be damned. ;^)
Thanks for your thread. - Bill
Ohhh, this is going to be good. BMFLR.

Burn, you greasy crook!
I love watching Sharpton on TV. His liberal, moral relativist lunacy is funnier than any stand up comedy routine.
Big Al had a free pass for too long. He should be in jail.
You have the brains to look at Sharpton as comical.Many poorly educated blacks especially take him as gospel.
Pretty sad.
How very true,
Good post.
I sense another fire on its’ way at Rev. Al’s office.
Here’s hoping Sharpie gets convicted and spends a very long time in jail.
