Federal judge blocks Trump from firing court-appointed western Washington U.S. attorney
Americas2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported39m ago
A federal judge has issued a ruling blocking the Trump administration from removing Roger Rogoff as the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington. The court determined that Rogoff has been the rightful holder of the position since his appointment in July.
The legal dispute stems from actions taken by Attorney General Todd Blanche, who announced in July that President Trump had fired Rogoff from the Seattle post less than an hour after Rogoff was sworn into office.
