The following excerpt is from New York v. Griepp, 991 F.3d 81 (2nd Cir. 2021):
It is well established in our Circuit that inconsistencies between a witness's testimony and other evidence in the record can support a district court's adverse credibility determination. See Doe v. Menefee , 391 F.3d 147, 164 (2d Cir. 2004). This is true even when, as here, the witness's account was equally plausible. See id .
