US Judge Reinstates Prosecutor Trump Fired 54 Minutes After Appointment
A US federal judge on Thursday ordered Roger Rogoff reinstated as federal prosecutor for the Western District of Washington, reversing his removal by President Donald Trump.
Trump fired Rogoff just 54 minutes after his appointment in July. The dismissal came less than an hour after Rogoff had taken the oath of office.
The judge’s order directs that Rogoff be returned to the same post from which he was removed.
The brief account of the ruling did not provide the judge’s legal reasoning or indicate whether the administration would challenge the decision.
