English term or phrase: was never in question
Hola, necesito su ayuda con esta expresión, gracias.

But there was never an explanation of what threat might have been posed in this case, since preservation of the records by the phone companies was never in question and the news leak under investigation had occurred long before.
No obstante, nunca hubo una explicación sobre qué amenaza podría haberse suscitado en este caso, puesto que nunca se discutió la conservación de los registros telefónicos y la filtración de la noticia, objeto de la investigación, ocurrió bastante tiempo atrás.

nunca estuvo/se puso en tela de juicio


Explanation:
Muy buenas todas las opciones, pero hacía falta una :)

---
en tela de juicio loc. adv. En duda. Se usa sobre todo con los verbos estar, poner y quedar: hay que poner en tela de juicio sus afirmaciones porque carecen de base científica.
