Analysis Summary
Trump fired Roger Rogoff 54 minutes after federal judges swore him in as U.S. attorney for Western Washington on July 15, 2026. Rogoff, a Democratic appointee who had served 20+ years as a prosecutor, was selected by federal judges to replace Trump's previous pick Neil Floyd — creating an immediate legal fight over judicial vs. executive power over U.S. attorney appointments. The firing sets up a potential court battle over whether judges can override the president's authority to remove U.S. attorneys, a power Trump has been aggressively exercising since his second term began.
