If the stories are true and he denies it, he will enrage the prosecutors and open himself up to a perjury rap. Rush should follow his laywer's advice and keep quiet until he knows what the authorities have on him. And it also give his investigators time to dig up dirt on his accusers.

I did not suggest that he deny it if it is true. I suggest that if the story is not true, that he should have simply said so, in one sentence, then move on.

The only time you get in trouble by denying something outright is if you're guilty of it. If you're innocent, you simply say so, but you say nothing more.

That Rush did not do this seems to indicate to me that he has something he doesn't want to say. He can't admit it, obviously, on his lawyer's advice.

But...if he's not taking these prescription drugs illegally, no harm can come from a simple denial.
