Feds raid televangelist's Texas office while he was in Paris

As the feds raided his Grapevine office, television evangelist Benny Hinn was in paris -- that's according to hinn's website.

Federal investigators aren't talking, but they spent most of the day at Hinn's North Texas headquarters.

CNN affiliate KTVT's cameras caught what appeared to be IRS and postal inspector police officers walking in and out of the building.

One man saw the moment they arrived.

"They all just hopped out," John Ebert said. "It just happened real quick. A line of cars just came."

Special Agent Michael Moseley with IRS Criminal Investigations said the division investigates crimes like tax evasion, though he wouldn't comment on this particular operation.

Agent Mosley did confirm investigators had a warrant to search the place.

The raid comes ten years after a senate investigation involving several television evangelists - including Hinn.

All were eventually cleared of wrongdoing.
