Pennsylvania man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly pretending to be the family members of then-President Donald Trump for an illicit scheme to fraudulently raise funds for a fictitious political organization, prosecutors said.
Joshua Hall, 22, is charged with fraud and identity theft. He was arrested Tuesday morning and set to appear later in the day in Harrisburg federal court.
Prosecutors said Hall defrauded hundreds of victims by raising funds for a political group that didn’t exist. The group’s stated purpose was to get Trump reelected, but Hall allegedly used those funds for his own living expenses.
