Original: Trump illegally fired Seattle’s U.S. attorney, judge rules
A federal judge has ruled that President Trump's dismissal of Seattle's U.S. attorney was unlawful, according to The Washington Post. The decision directly challenges the administration's authority to remove the top federal prosecutor for western Washington and is expected to fuel broader legal fights over the limits of presidential power over Justice Department officials.
Why now: A federal court ruling against the president's power to fire a U.S. attorney is a significant development in ongoing disputes over executive authority.
