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. Rogoff, who was appointed by federal judges, argues that his firing by President Donald Trump violates the U.S. Constitution and disregards the judiciary's authority to appoint prosecutors. This legal challenge is reportedly the first of its kind from a judicially appointed U.S. attorney facing removal by the administration. AI
