President Trump removed Roger Rogoff as interim US Attorney for the Western District of Washington less than an hour after federal judges unanimously appointed him on Wednesday. Rogoff, a former judge and veteran prosecutor, had been sworn in before 8 a.m. and received notice of his termination by email while at the courthouse. Todd Blanche stated that district judges may appoint a temporary US attorney but the president retains removal authority.
