No. If that were the explanation, then everyone involved would say that. Their silence says everything. His aide is refusing to comment. Thomas is refusing to comment. The lawyers are refusing to comment. If it were a simple, “Look, we were all just paying our own way to the Christmas party,” they would fucking say that. It would make this story disappear. Why aren’t they? Because it would be a lie, and there’s probably proof somewhere that it would be a lie, and they don’t want to compound the problem by lying about it.
