Republicans Call on FBI Director Mueller to Probe Whether CIA Lied to Congress

Representatives Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Steve King (R-Iowa) have just asked FBI Director Robert Mueller to investigate whether the CIA misled Congress, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has charged.

Suggesting that such claims, if proven false, would “harm national security” undermining morale at the CIA, King cited a federal law that criminalizes fraud and false statements by a government official.

It wasn’t clear if King was referring to Pelosi or the CIA officials that she says misled her.
