Fiscal nombrado por el tribunal demanda a la administración Trump por despido de 54 minutos

El presidente Donald Trump destituyó a Roger Rogoff, nombrado por un panel de jueces federales como fiscal del Distrito Occidental de Washington, menos de una hora después de prestar juramento. The Seattle Times informó que el despido se produjo poco después de que un panel de jueces federales nombrara a Rogoff para el cargo. CNN y The Guardian señalaron que la medida generó interrogantes sobre el uso de nombramientos temporales por parte de la administración y sobre la autoridad presidencial para destituir a fiscales designados por los tribunales. CBS News añadió que la acción repentina provocó críticas de funcionarios.

Rogoff respondió presentando una demanda para anular su despido, alegando que la terminación violó la legislación federal y la Constitución. CBS News informó que la demanda busca su reinstalación y cuestiona la legalidad del despido. CNN, NBC News, PBS y Fox News también cubrieron la presentación, indicando que el abogado sostiene que la administración excedió su autoridad.
