Original: Judge overturns Trump's decision to fire court-appointed US attorney in Seattle
A federal judge has overturned President Trump's attempt to fire a court-appointed US attorney in Seattle, ruling the removal unlawful. The decision shields the prosecutor from dismissal and raises new legal questions about the limits of presidential power over court-appointed justice officials. The ruling is expected to face appeals and could shape future disputes between the White House and the federal judiciary.
Why now: The ruling directly challenges presidential authority over federal prosecutors, drawing wide attention amid ongoing Trump-administration legal battles.
