FBI Director James Comey testified before the House Oversight Committee earlier today. For some of the highlights of that hearing, see here.
Early in the hearing, Committee Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz indicated he would submit a referral asking the FBI to investigate whether Hillary lied under oath.
