A former U.S. Attorney in Seattle, Roger Rogoff, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration following his termination less than an hour after being sworn into office.

This legal challenge is reportedly the first of its kind from a judicially appointed U.S. attorney facing removal by the administration. AI
