House Investigating if Trump Lied to Mueller
The U.S. House of Representatives is investigating if President Donald Trump lied to Special Counsel Robert Mueller during his 22-month long Russia probe.
The Washington Post reports the attorney for the House revealed the existence of the investigation to a panel of judges. The House is arguing that it must be allowed to see secret grand-jury materials from Mueller’s investigation. The Dept. of Justice has been blocking that request after a lower court ordered the materials handed over to Congress.
The New York Times adds that the investigation is focused on the written answers Trump submitted to questions from the Special Counsel.
It is a crime to lie to the FBI or the DOJ.
