Synopsis by Rose of Sharon Winter

This video presents two programs that chronicle the unfolding of the scandal involving television evangelist Jimmy Swaggart. The interviews are conducted by Ted Koppel on the television series Nightline. The first show aired on February 19, 1988, in which Swaggart denied the allegations about his sexual activities. Just three days later, a remorseful Swaggart admitted his mistakes before a large television audience.
