But the change in the report was minuscule, and I think her boss was actually correct.

Goldman had written materials about conflicts. Segarra claimed they weren't enough to a "policy" by her opinion. Her boss argued, it was a policy even if it was a really poor one. He didn't tell her to change the report to say they had a policy, he told her to change it to say Goldman's policy was very deficient and need to be improve a lot.

It's essentially a semantics argument, not some huge cover up.

And her boss's stance is arguably more detailed and accurate.
