Trump Fires Newly Appointed Seattle U.S. Attorney Within an Hour

The Trump administration fired the newly appointed U.S. attorney in Seattle within an hour after federal judges installed him, escalating a standoff over control of federal prosecutors. The move reflects the White House's determination to override judicial appointments it views as an end-run around executive authority. Critics call it a norm-breaking power grab, while allies frame it as the president exercising rightful control over Justice Department personnel.
