I’m guessing that only refers to claims for compensation.
Really? I found nothing mentioning compensation. I don’t know, maybe you’re right, I’m no lawyer, but a caller called in on Brain Kilmeades show today and claimed AOC broke the law, that you cannot make a false claim about a federal agent but I forget what law he mentioned. I though this might have been it. I would imagine there could be a law if it puts the federal agents job at risk or hinders their job.
