“despite previously saying there was no record of the two having met.”
How clever. Of course there was no record. It would have been an oversight if they had not destroyed it when questions were first raised.
If one is looking for the truth, look elsewhere.
This is like the Clinton ‘denials’ - they never said “no I didn’t do [xxx]” they said “I don’t think there is any evidence that I ever did [xxx]”
That’s not a No, that’s just saying you don’t think there is any evidence of it
