Trump admin fires new Seattle US attorney Roger Rogoff minutes after his swearing-in

Donald Trump dismissed Roger Rogoff as the top federal prosecutor in Seattle on Wednesday, less than an hour after he was sworn in. Rogoff, a former judge and veteran prosecutor, had been unanimously appointed by district federal judges following the end of an interim term. This rapid firing occurred shortly after Rogoff arrived at the US attorney’s office, highlighting significant tensions between the president and the courts regarding the appointment of powerful legal positions.
