Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge filed suit against Missouri-based TV pastor Jim Bakker.
The lawsuit alleges Bakker is guilty of consumer fraud for marketing a product called colloidal silver to treat COVID-19.
"Jim Bakker has exploited Arkansas consumers by leveraging COVID-19 fears to sell over $60,000 worth of their products that do nothing to fight the virus," Rutledge said.
