Donald Trump has been slapped down by an Obama-appointed federal judge the president had tried to boot from overseeing a case against him.
Roger Rogoff, 57, was unanimously handed the job of U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington by the district’s 17 federal judges on July 15—and axed by Trump, 80, just 54 minutes after being sworn in.
His appointment would have made him the boss of Trump’s own man in Seattle. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi installed Charles Neil Floyd, a Tacoma immigration judge, at the office’s helm in September.
