Mr. Doan, I want to offer you an opportunity to clear your name. A government official has come to this committee and directly accused you of lying and threatening them. Other witnesses have indirectly accused you of lying or omission. Your name, as you even stated yourself, is all over the press. I'm sure that your many years of work in the public service are important. I want to offer you one more chance to tell the whole truth to this committee. I will offer you a chance to address the allegations made against you.
However, first, can you please address any statements you've made to this committee that you've reflected on, if you've realized you misrepresented something or left something out, however small, however unintentional? I want to offer you a chance to address the allegations made against you.
