VERDICT · MISLEADING
The statement quotes Bob Ferguson (who is actually Washington's Attorney General, not governor) claiming the governor admitted to a mistake. Without access to the actual agreement text from May 2, 2026, it's impossible to verify whether the governor actually made this admission. The statement contains a factual error about Ferguson's title, and the quoted admission cannot be independently verified from available sources.
