Fired U.S. Attorney Roger Rogoff Sues Trump Administration Over Termination
Roger Rogoff, a U.S. attorney in Washington state, has filed a lawsuit challenging his dismissal by President Trump, which occurred less than an hour after his appointment. Rogoff was appointed by district court judges, but his termination was directed by the White House. The lawsuit argues that the firing was unlawful, citing the president's lack of authority to remove judicially appointed attorneys. Rogoff seeks reinstatement, claiming his removal violates the separation of powers and due process. This case marks the first legal challenge of its kind against such a termination.
