“While we typically do not confirm or deny the existence of an ongoing investigation, it has already been reported that Washington is part of a multistate investigation involving 30 other state Attorneys General who are investigating Volkswagen’s alleged use of ‘defeat devices’ in their TDI Clean Diesel engines.
“I intend to thoroughly investigate this matter and protect the economic and environmental interests of Washington state consumers.
“That is all the information I can share at this time.”
