Denial of asylum based on adverse credibility determination was supported by substantial evidence where asylum applications omitted mention of petitioners’ alleged participation in a political demonstration that they later testified was the basis for their asylum claim, the only explanation for the omission was the expectation that the matter would be discussed at the hearing, and petitioners’ sworn statements in the application were inconsistent in numerous respects with testimony of their witness and with documentary evidence.
