Joshua Hall is charged with fraud and identity theft for allegedly impersonating Donald Trump to solicit money.
A Pennsylvania man pretended to be former President Donald Trump or a member of his family in order to defraud hundreds of victims across the country, federal prosecutors said Tuesday. Joshua Hall is charged with fraud and identity theft after federal prosecutors said he misrepresented himself or others while soliciting funds for a purported Trump reelection organization that did not exist. Instead Hall used the funds raised – thousands of dollars – for his own personal living expenses, according to the criminal complaint. The alleged scheme involved the "creation and use of social media accounts bearing those family members' names and photographs," the complaint said.More Related News
