Summary
A federal judge ruled that President Trump illegally fired U.S. Attorney Roger Rogoff in western Washington in July and ordered him reinstated until a replacement is confirmed. The judge found the Justice Department's move was part of a broader effort to install preferred appointees and bypass Senate confirmation, continuing a pattern of similar rulings against the administration.
