CNN Fact - Pelosi claiming Barr lied isn not True
"not a lie, but not exactly the whole truth either.
That’s what CNN concludes in its fact check, too. Spinning the truth isn’t perjury, not even in congressional hearings, or perhaps especially not in congressional hearings:
Barr can be seen as splitting hairs here, especially given that Crist noted that concerns within the special counsel’s office were not just about the accuracy of Barr’s summaries, but in how adequately he had portrayed the work of the special counsel.
To clearly state that he did not know what these reports were referencing, as he did to Crist on April 9, while perhaps not rising to the level of an outright lie, is clearly an example of Barr not being completely forthcoming about what he knew at the time of his testimony.
“For testimony to be legally actionable as a lie,” CNN legal analyst Michael Zeldin said, “it has to meet a pretty precise standard.”
