Students for Trump Founder Faces Prison After Confessing to $46,000 Scam While Posing As Attorney

The man who helped create the Republican lobby group Students for Trump has admitted running a scam in which he pretended to be a lawyer and took money for dispensing legal advice.

John Lambert, 23, from Knoxville, Tennessee, went by the name of Eric Pope in the swindle. He set up a fake law firm called Pope & Dunn between 2016 and 2018.

He claimed he was an NYU Law School graduate with a finance degree from the University of Pennsylvania with a decade and a half of corporate and patent law experience.

Lambert, in reality, had attended Campbell University, 30 miles south of Raleigh, North Carolina, where he majored in trust and wealth management, according to Politico.
