## Resource

A U.S. Attorney just sworn in by a federal judge was abruptly fired by President Trump hours later — sparking a legal firestorm. Roger Rogoff, appointed temporarily to fill a vacant post in the Western District of Washington, received an email announcing his removal without warning or consultation. Though he anticipated the move after weeks of unanswered outreach to the administration, Rogoff questions whether the firing was lawful. The Justice Department defends the action, citing a DOJ official who criticized the judges’ lack of coordination, but Rogoff’s team is now preparing to challenge the dismissal in court — setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown over executive power and judicial appointments.
