Billy then stated that he had received a Libyan "loan" in January-not December. Lisker said last week that these discrepancies "call into question the veracity of his entire registration statement." If the Justice Department can prove that Billy was trying to conceal something when he made the false statements, he could be sent to prison for up to five years and fined $10,000. At week...
