Trump fires newly appointed US attorney in Seattle less than an hour after swearing-in

Federal judges appointed longtime prosecutor Roger Rogoff to serve as U.S. attorney in Seattle, but President Donald Trump fired him less than an hour after he was sworn in Tuesday.

When KOMO News asked Rogoff about being the U.S. attorney in Seattle for less than an hour, he replied, "Greatest hour in my life."

Rogoff, a longtime federal prosecutor, former King County Superior Court judge and former director of Washington's Office of Independent Investigations, said he was dismissed in an email titled "A Message From the President."
