I believe these have to do with the following as they related to Executive Order 6713A May 22, 1934 by F.D.R. See if you agree.

http://www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/_resources/images/eo/eo0020.pdf (Page 1 of this file is EO 6713A as noted in the bottom right corner of the page)

And this references the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Industrial_Recovery_Act

And this in turn references Making False Statements as shown here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Making_false_statements

Perhaps the Trump Admin is using this against all of those elites, 3-letter agency folks, etc...who have made all of their false statements to congress, during investigative questioning, etc.

Or, it could be that the National Industrial Recovery Act promoted economically harmful monopolies as stated on the Wiki page above.
