In fact, I'd say it could quite easily be used against him in court, in order to show that Pizzagate was a malicious falsehood from the start.
I don't know if his lawyers told him to apologize to mitigate a potential court loss, or he was too stupid to listen to his lawyers and keep his mouth shut. It is very rare in court cases for a defense lawyer to tell their client to take the stand, but this will most likely be a civil suit and you are under deposition and cant escape being questioned at trial. But even in a civil case, most lawyers will tell you not to comment in public about any possible litigation. I don't know why he did this, but it will make it harder for him to be exonerated by a civil jury or have the case thrown out by a judge. It is an admission to being party to the original story by giving it a platform. If I were called in a civil case to be a juror in this instance I would have to ask the judge to recuse me and not have the lawyers pick me because I simply hate that fucker and there is no way I could be objective.
