A judge has overturned President Donald Trump’s decision to fire the court-appointed top U.S. prosecutor in Seattle. It's the latest development in a legal tug-of-war over the administration’s efforts to control who occupies the powerful Justice Department posts. The 17 judges in the Western District of Washington unanimously named Roger Rogoff, a former judge and veteran prosecutor, U.S. attorney in July, after Trump failed to fill the post with a nominee confirmed by the U.S. Senate. The president fired Rogoff less than an hour later. Rogoff sued, and in a ruling Thursday, Judge Stanley Bastian found the termination unlawful and reinstated him. The Justice Department said it would appeal.

The case has stirred controversy on campus, raising questions about why no criminal charges were filed. The district attorney plans to reopen the investigation.

A newly obtained transcript of a woman who has filed a lawsuit claiming she was sexually assaulted by seven men at a Cornell University fraternity house shows that she told police she was "100% confident" she was raped. The local district attorney, Matthew Van Houten, initially decided not to prosecute, citing a lack of evidence that she was drugged or coerced into sex. His office has now reopened the investigation. The woman, identified as Jane Doe, alleges she was incapacitated after being pressured into using drugs and alcohol. Cornell University supports the decision to reopen the investigation.
