A top federal prosecutor in Seattle, Roger Rogoff, was sworn in as U.S. attorney by federal judges — only to be fired hours later by order of President Trump. Now suing, Rogoff claims the removal is unconstitutional, arguing the President overstepped by ignoring judicial authority to appoint interim prosecutors. He’s demanding the court declare his firing void and restore his position — becoming the first in a growing pattern of judicially appointed U.S. attorneys targeted by the administration. The Justice Department counters that the President has the power to fire them, and that judges didn’t consult with the department — a dispute echoing past legal battles over these critical roles.
