Barr Calls Allegation He Lied to Congress ‘Laughable’

Attorney General William Barr said “he wasn’t worried about the near certainty that the House will vote to hold him in contempt of Congress, nor was he concerned about accusations he lied to lawmakers, chalking the matter up to partisan politics,” Politico reports.

Said Barr: “I think it’s a laughable charge and I think it’s largely being made to try to discredit me partly because they may be concerned about the outcome of a review of what happened during the election.”
