Fox News senior judicial correspondent Andrew Napolitano once again argued that Attorney General William Barr had not told Congress the whole truth about the special counsel office's response to Barr's release of their report on Russian election interference and alleged presidential obstruction of justice.

In an episode of his weekly Fox News Digital show Judge Napolitano’s Chambers, the former New Jersey Superior Court judge went through the criticism of Barr, which has led to the attorney general being held in contempt by the House Judiciary Committee.

Napolitano also explained how Barr last month told a congressional committee he was not aware of concerns from Mueller’s team about his handling of the special counsel’s report, when in fact he had received a letter from Mueller himself raising complaints.

“He answered: ‘No, I don’t [know about any complaints],’” Napolitano said about Barr;s testimony. “Well, that was not a true answer,” he continued. “He certainly had read the newspaper reports of the complaints and he had a letter from Mueller himself complaining.”

“So did he lie under oath or did he deceive the Congress?” Napolitano asked, suggesting those were the only possibilities.
