Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, at the Aspen Ideas Festival on Tuesday, accused the Trump administration of lying about the motivations behind President Trump’s initial executive order that barred entry into the United States for passport holders from six Muslim-majority countries.

Following the enacting of the ban, Yates said that she met with Trump officials to go over the legal justification for the order.

“At the end of that [meeting], I was not comfortable that it was in fact lawful or constitutional,” she said.
