Judge Blocks Trump Firing of Seattle Federal Prosecutor

A federal judge has reinstated Roger Rogoff as U.S. attorney in Seattle, blocking President Donald Trump's July firing of the top federal prosecutor. Attorney General Todd Blanche had announced Rogoff's dismissal less than an hour after he was sworn in. The Justice Department had removed Rogoff as part of a broader effort to install preferred appointees and bypass Senate confirmation, according to the reports.
