“And no victim or complaint.”

Lying on a loan application is a crime. Whether or not the bank fails notice it at the time. if you falsify your income when trying to get a mortgage on your house it’s still a crime even if you make your monthly payments.

The last time I applied for a loan, the lender required me to send them three years of tax returns and three years of financial statements for my business. I don’t know how anyone could claim you are lying if the tax returns verify the income.

And when it comes to real estate asset valuations, there is no way to “lie” about something that is subjective by definition. That’s why lenders do their own appraisals instead of accepting the borrower’s estimates at face value.

Unless you're alleging the lenders relied on purely stated income to qualify Donald Trump (highly unlikely), you're also alleging that he falsified or misrepresented information on both his tax returns and the financial statements used to support income from those tax returns during the loan application process. Because it's the *lender* who determines a borrower's qualifying income, **not the borrower**.

And if the tax transcripts obtained from the IRS match what the tax returns say, what cause is there to assume fraud?

Did Trump lie?
