Implicate Or Confess

Some slight differences in these:

1 "He implicated himself."
2 "He confessed."

Could both mean the same? Or does sentence 1 imply he was tricked by police interrogators' trick questions, and sentence 2 imply he willingly admitted something.

It makes more sense if the question was " He doesn't want to implicate himself ...( in the case)". Implicate - means to act or say anything to cause suspicion in relation to a crime. It doesn't mean "confession".

And your words or actions can implicate you without any interrogation or "trick questions."
