(45,806 posts)Stuart? I think that's part of the reason you don't see much of him with the Con. Bad as he is, he doesn't want any of Christi's dirt rubbing off on him.

(36,827 posts)As far as I know he's just lied to the public about it, which isn't illegal.

(2,419 posts)but....he has been questioned in person by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's office. (at his home in Mendham) If he indeed lied to them, he has some serious problems. (in addition to the obvious serious problems the man has always had)
Major Nikon
(36,827 posts)If he signed a perjury warning, then yes he'd definitely be in trouble if he lied. Otherwise I'm not as convinced they would have anything actionable on him.
