In wire fraud prosecutions, the government does not need to prove that the offender knew the wire communication was interstate.
False. In a wire fraud prosecution, the government is not required to prove that the offender knew that the wire communication was an interstate communication.
This requirement falls under the general intent category, where the offender does not need to have specific knowledge about the wire communication being interstate.
For federal mail fraud, the act of using the postal service to further a scheme to defraud requires general intent or awareness of the use of the postal service, but not necessarily specific knowledge of it being used interstate.
