Lying to Congress is still a crime. He could have legally declined to comment, but not lied.

The "Gang of 8" and the "Gang of 4" are almost always aware of the truth, usually the entire intelligence committees. Members of Congress are not automatically trusted with the deepest national secrets just because they are elected.
