it looks like this was the original source for the underwear story..and he then kind of backtracked it and was trying to gain more info
It is perfectly plausible this was the truth and then later they tried to hide as the narrative formed

The fact that sources are giving completely contradictory, ever changing, stories, suggests that we are being lied to and that inconvenient facts are being erased as a narrative is being formed.
