House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters Thursday that Attorney General William Barr committed a crime by lying to Congress last month.
“What is deadly serious about it is the attorney general of the United States of America was not telling the truth to the Congress of the United States. That’s a crime,” she said at a morning press conference.
She added:
“He lied to Congress. He lied to Congress. If anybody else did that, it would be considered a crime. Nobody is above the law — not the president of the United States and not the attorney general.”
NBC News’ Kasie Hunt asked Pelosi if she thinks Barr should go to jail.
