(CNN) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that Attorney General William Barr committed a crime when he testified before Congress. "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," Pelosi told reporters at her weekly news conference on Capitol Hill. Barr has come under scrutiny for telling Congress last month that he didn't know whether special counsel Robert Mueller supported Barr's description of the report in his summary. "The baseless attack on the Attorney General is reckless, irresponsible and false," Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said.
