[US-LA] Does HR tell the truth when asked a question?

Hello! I recently got a DWI about two months ago. I was in the hiring process at one hospital, but they rescinded their offer because they noticed a pending charge for DWI. They explained to me that they cannot hire someone with a pending case. Luckily, I was granted with a great opportunity at another hospital. Before submitting my application, I was able to call HR and asked them a confidential question about possible issues with the hiring process with my pending DWI case. They said as long as I let the recruiter know, it shouldn’t be a problem. Could they just be saying that because it was a confidential question and I didn’t give my name? I’m not sure if they think it could be someone that’s higher up calling to make sure they are saying what they need to. Or am I just overthinking it? This job is for echocardiography, in case anyone needs more information to better understand.
