Nashville, TN, July 22, 2026 —
A former United States Attorney appointed by federal judges has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that his termination shortly after his appointment violates the U.S. Constitution.
Roger Rogoff, who was appointed by federal judges, was reportedly fired less than an hour after his appointment. The lawsuit contends that this action by the President allows for the rewriting of laws and infringes upon constitutional principles.
The specific details surrounding the circumstances of Rogoff’s appointment and subsequent termination were not fully elaborated in the provided summary. However, the core of the legal challenge centers on the argument that the President’s actions in removing an officially appointed official undermine the separation of powers and the rule of law.
Rogoff’s legal action seeks to address what his lawsuit describes as a violation of the Constitution. The complaint argues that allowing the executive branch to unilaterally overturn appointments made by the judiciary sets a dangerous precedent.
Further details regarding the specific court where the lawsuit was filed, the exact constitutional provisions cited, and the relief sought by Rogoff were not provided in the summary. The case is expected to examine the boundaries of presidential authority in relation to judicial appointments and terminations.
