Trump fires new US attorney in Seattle an hour after federal judges appoint him

The News

President Donald Trump fired Roger Rogoff as the new US attorney for the Western District of Washington on Wednesday, less than an hour after Rogoff was sworn in following his unanimous appointment by federal judges in Seattle. Rogoff, a former judge and veteran prosecutor, had been selected by a panel of judges to replace interim US attorney Charles Neil Floyd. The firing underscores ongoing tensions between the executive branch and the judiciary over control of federal prosecutorial positions.
