Judge blocks Trump's firing of top Seattle federal prosecutor
Original: united states attorney
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration's attempt to dismiss the top federal prosecutor in Seattle, ordering that he be restored to his post as United States attorney for the Western District of Washington. The ruling is drawing attention as part of the broader legal fight over the president's authority to remove politically appointed prosecutors.
Why now: A court ruling directly limiting Trump's power to remove a U.S. attorney is a significant development in ongoing disputes over the independence of federal prosecutors.
