Nice attack: Cazeneuve denies policewoman 'harassed' over report

Ms Bertin told the Journal du Dimanche (in French) she had been instructed by an interior ministry official to report the presence of national police units on the seaside Promenade des Anglais at the time of the attack.
"The national police were perhaps there, but I couldn't see them on the video," Ms Bertin said.
She told the Journal du Dimanche she had also been "harassed for an hour" by Mr Cazeneuve on the phone.
The interior ministry says there were 64 members of the national police on the seafront - as per arrangements with Nice city hall.

The most astonishing statement in the Journal du Dimance is not reported by the BBC: Bertin says that the truck appeared at 10:33pm on the promenade and was stopped at 10:34pm by local police.
This is a stark contradiction to every eyewitness account that the attack happened after the fireworks ended, shortly after 11pm.
I'm curious how that will develop.
Here's the original interview with Bertin:
