On March 12, 2013, Senator Ron Wyden asked DNI James Clapper: 'Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions of Americans?' Clapper answered 'No sir... not wittingly.' Three months later, Edward Snowden's leaks proved this was a lie. Clapper later called it the 'least untruthful' answer he could give. Despite committing perjury before Congress, Clapper was never charged and continued serving until 2017.
