Only really a fact to those that don't understand the meaning of the word.
Yeah it might be somewhat gray, but after knowing what to look for I have to admit that I would rather use the word lie than not if I had to break it down. She quite openly said she "knows nothing about this" regarding Trump team unmaskings. If the sources (anonymous ones, which both sides claim is problematic somehow) that say she did know and ask for unmasking are correct, she lied there. The interest might not have been political, but investigational, all that is granted, but well... for me, it still constitutes a lie.
I applied the same criteria with Sessions. - What means, whoever calls Rice liar because of this must, of course, also call Sessions a liar under oath and Trump a pathological liar. Wouldn't be coherent any other way.
