"Donald Trump fired the new top federal prosecutor in Seattle on Wednesday less
than an hour after the attorney was unanimously appointed by the federal judges
in the district, highlighting tensions between the courts and the president
over the powerful positions.
Roger Rogoff, a former judge and veteran state and federal prosecutor, was
sworn in as US attorney before 8am at the US courthouse in downtown Seattle. In
a phone interview, he said he then went to the US attorney’s office and asked
to meet with Charles Neil Floyd, whose 120-day interim term in the position
ended in February.
As he waited in a lobby, Rogoff said, he received an email from the Trump
administration informing him he had been removed from the position. He is
consulting with other lawyers about suing over his firing, he said."
