Judge rules Trump can't fire court-appointed prosecutors
Original: Judge rules Trump can’t fire court-appointed prosecutors
A federal judge has ruled that President Trump cannot dismiss court-appointed prosecutors, rejecting an attempt to remove officials installed to handle cases independently of the Justice Department. The decision limits the administration's power over prosecutorial appointments and is expected to trigger an appeal, as the dispute tests the boundaries of presidential control over the court system.
Why now: The ruling constrains Trump's authority over prosecutions amid broader fights over the independence of the Justice Department.
