TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The word 'deny' comes to mind. But I suppose that what you want to
communicate is more relevant here than usual.
(1) 'The official asserted that no computer virus has been found yet.'
(2) 'The official denied that any computer virus has been found yet.'
(3) 'The official did not assert that any computer virus has been found
yet.'
(3) seems to be the simple opposite of (1). (2) seems to say more.

What is the opposite of 'assert'? Is it 'de-assert' or 'deassert' (no
hyphen on that one)? I checked several sources . . .
