Bob Ferguson: ‘We’ll Continue’ To Use Trump’s Statements from the Campaign Trail in Fighting Ban

FERGUSON: "What there is precedent for, George, in courts is if you’re looking for an improper motive, which we’re certainly asserting, is you can look behind an executive order. That includes statements made by the principals who put that executive order into place. So we will absolutely continue to use those statements. And when this case goes back to Judge Robart, the trial court judge appointed by George W. Bush, who ruled in our favor, we’ll have a chance to have discovery. And for those who are not lawyers, as you know, that means we can seek depositions from administration officials. We can ask for documents and emails to get behind what truly motivated that executive order. I absolutely intend to use those tools to continue with this case."
