An indirect question is certainly possible: explained how the rumours started explained why there were rumours explained what the rumours were about explained where the rumours were spreading Or a noun representing something that needs to be explained: explained the rules explained the meaning of (something) explained the procedure After you say what he explained, then you can continue with "in response to".
