A former U.S. attorney whom President Donald Trump fired less than an hour into his role has sued the president and the Department of Justice over his abrupt firing, requesting a preliminary injunction to restore him to the position.
Roger Rogoff, a former judge and career prosecutor, filed the lawsuit in the Western District of Washington, where he was appointed U.S. attorney for just 54 minutes before Trump removed him from the post. Rogoff and his attorneys argue that his removal was illegal and are requesting the court invalidate the firing and restore him as U.S. attorney.
