I'm frankly amazed he'd even consider it at the moment - unless Bill's that naive, he must know what questions would come up and evidently thinks he'd be able to field them in such a way that not only puts them in a positive light but still seems credible after what's gone before. Seeing as he is willing, I'd say go for it! The current situation seems so surreal that any information might help figure out what's actually been going on.
