Don King, obviously no saint himself, was part of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney Office in Brooklyn. In late-1987, Sharpton cooperated with the Brooklyn investigators who “ran him for a couple of months,” during which the Reverend “did some recordings” via his new home telephone. The Department of Justice operation into Don King was abruptly shuttered in the wake of an New York Newsday story on Reverend Al Sharpton.
