House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday declined to answer a reporter’s question about an assertion by Attorney General William P. Barr, saying he had lied to Congress and that she would no longer address “anything more that he has to say.”
Her comments came a day after Barr suggested House Democrats were trying “to create some kind of public spectacle” by requiring former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to testify next week about possible obstruction of justice by President Trump.
“I don’t even want to address him,” Pelosi said when asked about Barr’s assertion. “He has lied to Congress as the attorney general of the United States. He’s lied under oath. I’m not speaking to anything more that he has to say.”
Pelosi’s accusations against Barr are rooted in his appearance at House Appropriations subcommittee hearing in April. Rep. Charlie Crist (D-Fla.) asked Barr about media reports that members of Mueller’s team were frustrated by a summary Barr had produced of their findings from the investigation into interference by Russia in the 2016 election.
