Summary
Federal judges in Seattle tapped Roger Rogoff, a seasoned prosecutor and former judge, to fill a U.S. Attorney spot — and swore him in just hours before President Trump abruptly fired him. This high-stakes showdown exposes deep tension between the courts and the White House over who controls federal prosecution appointments. While the President nominates and the Senate confirms U.S. Attorneys, judges step in to fill vacancies temporarily — a move the Trump administration now seeks to override, arguing the President can fire anyone appointed by judges. Rogoff, proud of the judges’ trust and his own career, stands as a symbol of judicial independence clashing with executive power — a battle echoing across other districts.
