We derive a chiral gauge-invariant lattice fermion action from a chiral gauge-variant Wilson fermion action without changing its partition function. By using this formula we show that anomalous gauge theories are renormalizable in four dimensions and we investigate the chiral Schwinger model. We calculate the induced mass for the gauge boson compatible with the gauge invariance and show that this model is gauge invariant and unitary for a range of Wilson parameter r at the fermion one-loop level.
