Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
My question relates to answering a federal government question "no" and then changing your answer to "yes".
If you give the government one answer, but have previously answered differently would that be enough evidence to charge someone with lying under title 18 section 1001 U.S.C.?

It depends on what the question was how material that change may be, ... and whether it was "lying" at all, or could be construed differently. Also on whether the answer was changed "voluntarily" or not. The details may not be something you want to state in an open forum. If not, I suggest you contact local criminal defense attorneys in your area for a face-to-face consultation. Good luck!
