Under oath vs. Unprovable slander

Just something I was just daydreaming about.

Say a cop told you how he was going to set you up for a crime, and there's nothing there to record this conversation.

He set you up, you go on the stand, under oath. You're sworn to tell the truth. So you tell the judge what was said, even though you can't prove it. Can the cop then hit you for slander?

Pretty sure no, but I'm sure Troy is the best to answer this.

Second Troy.

That being said, the cop would be in the same place that he couldn't prove that it didn't happen, right?
