Seattle's Fired U.S. Attorney Sues Trump Administration to Challenge Dismissal
Roger Rogoff, a judicially appointed U.S. attorney in Seattle, has filed a lawsuit against President Trump and the Department of Justice, challenging his termination. Rogoff argues that his firing violated the Constitution's appointments clause and the statute allowing courts to appoint U.S. attorneys. The lawsuit seeks to reinstate Rogoff, claiming the president's actions undermine the judiciary's role as a co-equal branch. This legal action follows similar dismissals of court-appointed prosecutors by the Trump administration, but Rogoff's case is the first to contest such a termination in court.
