By Kelly Hayes
A Pennsylvania man was arrested Tuesday and charged with creating fake online identities for former President Donald Trump’s family members to deceive people nationwide into donating thousands of dollars to what prosecutors described as a phony political organization.
Joshua Hall, 22, of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, was released on $25,000 bail after appearing in Harrisburg federal court to face charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, authorities said.
Hall is accused of spending contributions on personal expenses after soliciting donations to his fake political organization, called Gay Voices for Trump, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
