No, look, this is really simple. He lied because the truth ("We knew all about it, have for decades; we saw this particular storm coming and knew the likely consequences, and sat around with our thumbs up our asses, and 1300 people died.") doesn't look good. And looking good is Priority #1 for this administration. (Okay, that's pretty much true for politicians in general these days.)
The lack of integrity that this has revealed is simply SHOCKING.
