Neighbors have accused Justice Alito of either being mistaken or lying about the events. Calls for a probe into possible false statements have emerged amid the controversy.

Oh man, Alito says his wife flew the flag in response to altercation w neighbor & only briefly. Neighbor says actually the flag was already flying for four weeks-- from 1/17 to 2/15 when the altercation occurred (which also wd mean that's not why she put it up). We need hearing https://t.co/peMG3dqBmW
