McMaster did not deny that Kushner, Flynn and Sislyak were discussing setting up secret backchannel but dismissed it as unimportant and normal, so I don't see how we can call it just a rumor.

Maybe Durbin is embarrassed and overly cautious now because he believed and spread rumor claiming Comey had asked for more resources right before being fired, which has turned out to be untrue.
