“I was a junior lawyer. My boss was hired to be [Boehner’s] lawyer,” Cruz explained. “So I worked on the case. I worked on some appellate briefs. I don’t know that I ever met him. We haven’t said 50 words to each other in our lives. I was a baby lawyer a couple years out of law school working on editing some briefs and helping write them. But I don’t know the man.”

If he’s telling the truth.
Seems to me an admission that he was, at one time, hired as a lawyer for Boehner and Company. The fact that he was a “baby lawyer” doing some appellate briefs for his boss on Boehner’s behalf doesn’t make the claim that he was once Boehner’s lawyer untrue.
