Washington (CNN) The House of Representatives is investigating whether President Donald Trump lied to special counsel Robert Mueller in written answers he provided in the Russia investigation , the House's general counsel said in federal court Monday. Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort also apparently told the Mueller grand jury what Trump's approach to WikiLeaks had been in 2016, according to the Mueller report. But the House hasn't been able to see what Manafort told the grand jury, which Mueller apparently described in his report. But he then pressed the House too on exactly why it needed grand jury information. The Justice Department has sought to keep the House from getting the secret grand jury information before the case is resolved, while the House seeks the grand jury details quickly.
