If he is specifically asked then he should tell the truth.

If it doesn't come up then no need to mention it.

If it comes up and he tells the truth there is no consequence. Your case and the merits of your case are all that matters.

I'm not picking on you personally. I just don't understand why so many people ask questions about the "right" answer at an interview if asked. The answer is always the same, the TRUTH! The truth is easy and won't come back to haunt you later. I'm not saying you need to be an open book that volunteers every detail of your life. You only need to answer a question with a simple, to the point, honest answer.

Yes I agree all the time truth is most important....my fiance is getting it from both sides but he said he will always tell the truth no matter what...thanks so much
