Under Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1001, federal authorities can prosecute individuals who knowingly and willfully falsify, conceal and/or make a false statement to a federal agent, or knowingly makes or uses a document that contains a material false statement. The federal law does not require that the false statement be related to the matter being investigated, as long as it was made knowingly and willfully. And there is no legal requirement that the statement be made under oath.
Laws relating to individuals making a false statement vary from state to state. In some states, individuals who make a false statement in connection with an official proceeding, such as a trial, can expect prosecutors will want to charge the case and receive severe punishment if found guilty, than other types of cases involving a fraudulent statement. And lying to obtain a loan, making a false statement to get money or property, individuals can expect prosecutors will also want to the charge the case.
