Two television ministries are still refusing to comply fully with a U.S. Senate committee’s probe into their financial records.Televangelists Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar failed to provide the requested information by the March 31 deadline, according to a written release from Sen. Charles Grassley, R.-Iowa, the minority leader on the Finance Committee. Sen.
