When FBI agents first interviewed Nauta, he denied any role in moving boxes or sensitive documents, the people familiar with the situation said in interviews before Nauta’s name became public. But as investigators gathered more evidence, they questioned him a second time and he told a starkly different story — that Trump instructed him to move the boxes, these people said.


HE DENIED ANY ROLE IN MOVING BOXES...

then...

HE TOLD A STARKLY DIFFERENT STORY...

This is not hard to understand. If you want to claim that isn't enough evidence to say that he lied in a criminal sense, that's fine, but then going far as arguing against my clarified claim that "based on this reporting, what he originally told the FBI was wrong" is downright rejecting the reality of the reporting and/or a lack of reading comprehension that most of us would have surpassed in elementary school. Let's make this really fucking simple:

Did he or did he not first say that he didn't move boxes?

Did he or did he not later admit to moving boxes?
