I know, I suck. But a serious question:

189. Then we should let a court decide as you suggest in your answer, otherwise,

he is outside of the law.

This is lying to Congress about violating the Constitutional rights of all Americans, not a traffic ticket.

There were other answers:

"I cannot answer that question without revealing classified information"

"I need to answer that in a closed session"

"I need to consult with my lawyer"

"I can neither confirm or deny"

"I'm cannot answer that question"
etc.

U.S. Code › Title 18 › Part I › Chapter 47 › § 1001
18 U.S. Code § 1001

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully—

If the matter relates to an offense under chapter 109A, 109B, 110, or 117, or section 1591, then the term of imprisonment imposed under this section shall be not more than 8 years.

Also, regarding perjury trap, I would argue the doctrine does not apply:

Perjury Cases—Special Problems and Defenses -- Perjury Trap
The perjury trap is a form of entrapment defense, and thus must be affirmatively proven by the defendant. The defense is rarely proven, even though the claim is relatively common when grand jury testimony gives rise to perjury charges. See Gershman, The Perjury Trap, 129 U. Pa. L. Rev. 624 (1981). The defense requires that the defendant show the false answer was illegally procured by the government. Thus, when the grand jury is attempting to obtain useful information in furtherance of its investigation, the perjury trap doctrine does not apply. United States v. Brown, 49 F.3d 1162, 1168 (6th Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 116 S.Ct. 377 (1995); United States v. Chen, 933 F.2d 793, 797 (9th Cir. 1991).
