“We have made referrals to the special prosecutor,†North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr said at a forum held at the University of Texas in Austin. “One instance just highlighted of late, is that the special prosecutor using the transcripts of interviews that we have used in our committee to indict somebody for lying to Congress.â€
“It’s a loud message to everybody who’s interviewed by our committee … if you lie to us we’re going to go after you,†the Republican added.
