A former tax attorney for a New York wealth management firm is expected to admit to lying to the federal government about $48,000 in campaign contributions to the Hillary Clinton for President Committee. Evan H. Snapper, who resigned earlier this month as a principal at Anchin, Block & Anchin, was charged with a single count of making false statements. A plea hearing has been set for 2 p.m. Monday in federal court before Judge Paul L. Friedman. According to charging documents, Snapper caused the Hillary Clinton for President Committee to unwittingly to file false reports with the Federal Election Commission.
Court documents showed that 21 people known to Snapper had contributed a total of $48,000 to the Hillary Clinton for President Committee in 2008, “when in reality, as Snapper well knew, the contributions were made by Person A,” document said.
