Top US prosecutor in Seattle sues Trump over quick 'unlawful' firing
Roger Rogoff, the top federal prosecutor in Seattle, was fired by President Trump after only about an hour on the job. He is now challenging his removal in court, arguing it was unlawful. The lawsuit sets the stage for an unprecedented legal battle that could determine the limits of presidential power to fire court-appointed U.S. attorneys. The case raises constitutional questions about the independence of federal prosecutors and the scope of executive authority.
