Not to mention it's such a trivial thing to lie about when you know that your credibility is on the line. You can bet that the NSA checked on this and would have discredited him if he lied at all about his story. Heck, they had to even lie about some of his history to try to discredit him.

They probably can't comment on his medical privacy, but I have to wonder if there aren't safety records of some kind from OSHA or whoever?

Literally the only people to be aware of what happened would be medical or administrative personnel who would be bound by privacy laws.
