Is it possible he legit didn't know? Sure.
Is it more probable, as some here have already mentioned, that he made a mistake? Probably. When you have a job that is 24/7 for 4 years and about 3 hours of sleep a night (my estimation) and have cameras constantly around you and high level decisions to make, you tend to make slips ups from time to time. Reagon would fall asleep at meetings. Benjamin Franklin (who I know wasn't even a President, but still highly involved in government) would be known to reveal important government secrets to women flirting with him at salons. It just kind of comes with the career. They aren't perfect or robots, they are humans just like us.
