Lying would be if Apple said that Bromwich demanded daily two-hour meetings with Tim Cook when he in fact had not. Saying that Bromwich is "interfering" is merely characterization. One man's "interfering" is another man's "getting an executive to spend time on an issue he doesn't want to deal with, but which he is obligated to do so." You shouldn't take a characterization at face value, not when it's made by an interested party.
