"Dear States," Rep. Lieu, a Democrat from California, said on Twitter. "I'm thinking that since it's OK for AG Sessions to lie under oath to Congress, then it's OK for you to lie to him on your forms," he tweeted.
In January Attorney General Sessions' apparent lie to the Senate Judiciary Committee came under intense scrutiny. Sessions had claimed he was unaware of anyone from the Trump campaign having met with Russian officials. As America later learned, just a few weeks ago, Sessions himself had at least two meetings with the Russian Ambassador to the U.S.
