US Attorneys Lie about Shredding of Evidence

In 2018, Beau Johnson met with US Attorney Benjamin Glassman from the Southern District of Ohio and Chief of the Criminal Division Kenneth Parker about a federal criminal case. Specifically, Johnson wanted Glassman and Parker to address a new finding by the Department of the Treasury (DOT) which called into question the existence of a $4 million loan. Surprisingly, though, at the start of the meeting, Glassman made a claim that any evidence of a $4 million loan had been shredded by the DOJ. Glassman's claim was a lie. The loan was never credible. The loan never existed. Rather than investigate the DOT finding, Glassman ignored a sister agency's conclusion and persisted with his lie that the DOJ shredded documents that were never real.
