Admitting blame in any form exposes you to all sorts of litigation potential.
Since it's impossible to know definitively that every hire you make is a good human, it's inevitable that someone will come along who can really do damage.
That said, culpability at the org level is mostly optics, unless it's a systemic problem. Which this could be.
TLDR if you have a legal team, they'll demand you say nothing and not admit any wrongdoing.
