Perjury Chart: Trump Associates’ Lies, False, or Misleading Statements on Russia to Federal Authorities

December 3, 2018

It is a federal offense to intentionally make false statements to Congress, the FBI, and other federal authorities. It is also a crime to encourage others to do so (that is, in technical terms, to “suborn perjury”). It is also a crime to engage in a conspiracy to lie to federal authorities. A conspiracy can involve a tacit or explicit agreement to commit the criminal activity.

Here is a summary of the 18-page Chart which is below (as a PDF document). It will be updated as new information becomes public. Major updates will be announced on Twitter and Facebook.

1. Jeff Sessions
(1) probably lied to Congress about his communications with Russian government officials and (2) possibly lied to Congress about his knowledge of other campaign members’ contacts with Russian government officials (starting Jan. 2017)

2. Jared Kushner (part 1)
made material omissions on his security clearance forms (January-June 2017)
