Open a copy of Shakespeare's Sonnets. Pick a Sonnet at random. Quote the first four lines. They will rhyme (the first line with the third and the second with the fourth) and will probably have the meter of iambic pentameter (ta-DUM ta-DUM ta-DUM ta-DUM ta-DUM).

You want another example? Pick another sonnet and do the same thing.

Can free verse poems have rhythm?

I don't think so, but I know many other people think free verse poems should have rhyme and meter. Since this question says "rhyme and meter" I am clustering those together and my answer is considering whether free verse poems ALWAYS have both rhyme and meter, not just rhyme (not to mention the different types of rhyme), or meter (not to mention the types of meter too). And the use of the words ALWAYS in the question, almost forces me to answer "no." To me, there are ALWAYS exceptions to every rule. (HA- I need to practice what I preach, eh? LOL)
