Judges Appoint, White House Fires | Portland News
Description
Federal judges in Seattle unanimously appointed Roger Rogoff, a seasoned prosecutor and former judge, as U.S. Attorney — only for President Trump to fire him hours later. The move underscores escalating tensions between the courts and the White House over who controls these critical federal roles, as the administration pushes to keep unconfirmed appointees in place through workarounds. Senator Patty Murray defended Rogoff’s legal appointment, while the acting AG accused judges of bypassing protocol. Rogoff, honored by his longtime judicial colleagues, now finds himself at the center of a power struggle over federal leadership.
