Nancy Pelosi Press Conference On AG Bill Barr 5/2/19. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is holding her weekly news conference after Attorney General William Barr skipped a House committee hearing this morning. She just criticized Barr for the testimony he's previously given to Congress and accused him of lying to Congress -- a critme. "What i serious about it is the attorney general of the United States of America was not telling the truth to the congress of the United States. That's a crme," she said. Later, Pelosi was asked bluntly if she believes Barr committed a crie. She said this: "He lied to Congress. And if anybody else did that, it would be considered a cri. Nobody is above the law. Not the President of the United States and not the attorney general." When asked if she believe Barr should go to jail, Pelosi said "there’s a process involved here" and added that "the committee will act upon how we will proceed."
