Not exactly unexpected given the court order earlier, interesting bit about how he has 20 days to decide if he wants to rectify the 'cause'. Presumably that would mean admitting stuff that he previously felt would incriminate himself so doing so would put him into more jeopardy on some axis.
This has got to be painful for all the parties involved, I can only hope that people who are watching are thinking to themselves "hmm, seems like some bad choices." And whether or not they are really bad or just being painted that way, it gives you a sense of how everything will be used to craft a narrative around the sequence of events that serves the purposes of the people doing the crafting, not necessarily the participants about whom the narrative speaks.
Having experienced personally the effects of bad actors trying to create a narrative that differed markedly from 'reality' in order to protect their own vulnerability I know how pulling only certain "facts" out of the history can tell a different story than the truth.
