American lawyer and political adviser; current U.S. attorney for New Jersey appointee
Western Washington U.S. attorney Roger Rogoff has been fired by the Trump administration shortly after his confirmation by district judges. Rogoff has filed suit arguing the ouster was unlawful and that judges retain appointment authority until a Senate-confirmed nominee is ready. The Justice Department says the firing is within the President’s authority and accedes to the district’s appointment process.
Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested by US Marshals in Miami after Britain has brought 38 new charges including rape, trafficking and offences relating to indecent images. The Crown Prosecution Service has requested extradition to the UK; the brothers have denied wrongdoing and await initial federal court proceedings in Florida.
The Tate brothers remain jailed in Miami as prosecutors push to extradite them to the UK on rape, assault and trafficking charges. A new bail bid argues their high public visibility makes flight unlikely, while UK authorities and U.S. prosecutors prepare for the next steps in a multi-jurisdictional case.
