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.
It is a crime to lie to the FBI or the DOJ.
