Wondering about an expression...

Hi there! I know we're not supposed to ask for translations, but I have searched in my usual places and I can't figure out the meaning of this (probably idiomatic) phrase I heard on TV: It's either "Salirle el paso" or "Salirle al paso", I'm not quite sure.

¡Hola, Amiga, buenos días!

I found this online.

Salir al paso de algo = to be quick to deny something

Han salido al paso de la acusación = they've been quick to deny the accusation

Salir del paso = to get out of trouble
