Did Donald Trump Jr. Lie to Congress?
I'd venture to say that'd be a 'yes'.

Did Donald Trump Jr. Lie to Congress?
January 29, 2019 at 8:17 am EST By Taegan Goddard
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) hinted to MSNBC that Donald Trump Jr. might have perjured himself in Senate testimony.
Said Blumenthal: “I’m barred from saying whether any testimony has been conveyed to the special counsel. But I can tell you this much, I was in the room when a great many of these witnesses appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee behind closed doors. I think many of them should be called back to testify in public and I hope that will be true of other congressional committees, as well, because behind closed doors, there were questions, serious issues concerning their truthfulness and that issue pertained particularly to Donald Trump Jr. in a number of contentions before our committee.”
He added: “I think this common thread of lying to Congress and particularly to congressional committees may ensnare a number of others potential targets in this special counsel’s investigation and become a matter of criminal action.”
