Description
Former King County Superior Court Judge Roger Rogoff has sued President Donald Trump and senior Justice Department officials, arguing his firing less than an hour after being sworn in as U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington violated federal law and the U.S. Constitution.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Seattle, asks a federal judge to declare Rogoff's removal unlawful, reinstate him as the district's top federal prosecutor and block the Trump administration from recognizing anyone else as the U.S. attorney until a Senate-confirmed successor is appointed.
