Daniels continued: "I have nothing to hide. I'm the only one that has been telling the truth. And, you know, you can't shame me even more.
"So I feel like if they don't, it paints the picture that they know something about me that makes me you know, untrustworthy, or not reliable.
"I think having them call me in and put me on the stand legitimises my story and who I am."
