Is lying by a federal officer a felony?

Republicans in Congress believe that President Donald Trump's lying is fine with them, except it isn't acceptable by most Americans. Most important, lying by a federal government officer is against the law.

President Trump is a perpetrator of lying and should be removed from office along with all Republican officeholders in Congress who go along with him.

"Making false statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001) is the common name for the United States federal process crime laid out in Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which generally prohibits knowingly and willfully making false or fraudulent statements, or concealing information, in "any matter within the jurisdiction" of the federal government of the United States,[1] even by merely denying guilt when asked by a federal agent."

The lies continue:
