Nancy Pelosi: 'William Barr lied to Congress'

US Speaker Nancy Pelosi has accused Attorney General William Barr of lying to Congress about Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report.

Her comments came a day after Mr Barr's testimony to a Senate panel about the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

But Department of Justice spokesperson Kerri Kupec hit back: "The baseless attack on the attorney general is reckless, irresponsible and false."
