BOISE — Attorney General Raúl Labrador’s spokesperson, Damon Sidur, issued the following statement in response to a recent court order requiring the Attorney General to sit for a deposition in a case involving a former employee, Daphne Huang:
“The Attorney General has consistently maintained that Ms. Huang’s termination was based on legitimate, work-related performance issues. The effort to compel the Attorney General’s deposition runs counter to well-established legal principles that shield high-ranking government officials from precisely this type of litigation-driven harassment. All relevant information can be obtained through alternative sources, making such a deposition unnecessary. Accordingly, the Attorney General is actively exploring all available legal avenues to challenge the court’s order.”
