Judge Sues Trump Over Illegal Firing | Charleston News
Description
Former King County Judge Roger Rogoff is suing President Trump and top Justice Department officials, claiming his abrupt firing—less than an hour after being sworn in as U.S. attorney—was illegal and unconstitutional. Appointed by unanimous vote of all 17 judges in the Western District of Washington under federal law, Rogoff argues the administration overstepped its authority, violating the Appointments Clause and due process. He seeks reinstatement and a court order preventing anyone else from being recognized as U.S. attorney until Senate confirmation. This high-stakes legal battle could redefine presidential power over interim federal prosecutors nationwide.
