The headline literally says “told him not to testify”, not “threatens him to not testify”? Not sure what you’re referring to? What “stretch” are you pointing at?

I think he's just saying the headline is (potentially maliciously) ambiguous. I certainly assumed "told not to testify [or else]" when I read it.

yes, exactly what I was thinking

well, he didn't actually "tell" him not to testfiy. "He shouldn't" isn't the same as "don't"

Fair enough, I can see the gap. It didn’t click for me this morning, apologies.
