A co-founder of the “ Students for Trump ” youth group faces up to 20 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

John Lambert, 23, misled his victims into believing he was a highly qualified lawyer, the southern district of New York attorney’s office said.

After falsely presenting himself as an attorney online, he provided legal advice and services in exchange for money.

US attorney Geoffrey S Berman said: “John Lambert represented himself to clients as a prominent New York attorney with a law degree from an elite law school. But Lambert’s de facto career was one of a grifter: he had never been to law school and certainly wasn’t an attorney.”
