Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the firing of a newly appointed interim U.S. attorney, Roger Rogoff, in western Washington state on Wednesday.
In a statement posted on X, Blanche wrote that “district court judges can appoint a temporary U.S. Attorney, and POTUS can fire them. … Roger Rogoff has been fired by the President.”
