Another day and another Trump supporter being investigated by the Department of Justice. When will trump supporters learn they are not above the law?
“Making false statements or omitting material info on SF-86 security form is punishable by up to 5 years in prison,” Lieu wrote.
"Lieu pointed out that Kushner’s forms had “over 100 omissions, including the infamous June 2016 meeting he attended in Trump Tower where Russian agents offered ‘dirt’ on then-candidate Hillary Clinton."
Formal Criminal Complaint On Jared Kushner Referred To DOJ by Rep. Lieu
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-California) submitted a formal complaint in a letter to the Justice Department, urging them to look into omissions in applications for security clearances made by President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner.
Lieu pointed out that Kushner’s forms had “over 100 omissions, including the infamous June 2016 meeting he attended in Trump Tower where Russian agents offered ‘dirt’ on then-candidate Hillary Clinton.”
In the letter, Lieu went into greater detail about the severity of punishment that could result from lying on such forms.
“Lying to the public, though disgraceful and unethical, is not ipso facto a criminal act,” Lieu wrote. “Lying on one’s SF-86 Questionnaire for National Security Positions, however, is a federal crime under 18 U.S. Code Section 1001 punishable by up to five years in prison.”
