Prosecutions for lying to Congress are rare, much less convictions, but some cases have been high profile.
The issue is in the news because Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has asked the Justice Department to investigate whether Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, misrepresented facts to Congress.
Fauci, responding angrily to Paul in a hearing last week, said he “never lied before the Congress.”
