I won’t announce that on national TV. But, I can assure you of this: I want to be crystal clear with your viewers. My job as attorney general is to uphold the rule of law in this country. And I’ll use every tool that I have as attorney general to make sure that the president follows that Constitution.

— Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson on ABC News’s “This Week” with George Stephanopoulos, declining to reveal whether his office intends to seek the deposition of President Donald Trump. Ferguson did note, however, that that option was still on the table, along with other discovery tools to delve into the motivations behind the executive order travel ban. “We can seek depositions from administration officials. We can ask for documents and emails to get behind what truly motivated that executive order.”
