Key takeaway Further details about the case are available from KSAT 12.
A federal prosecutor has filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department, claiming his termination violated his First Amendment rights. The prosecutor, Will Rosenzweig, was fired after a conservative commentator publicized his years-old blog posts critical of President Donald Trump. At the time, Rosenzweig was preparing to try a major Medicare fraud case.
The lawsuit alleges that Rosenzweig's firing occurred less than three hours after the blog posts were shared online. Further details about the case are available from KSAT 12. The lawsuit was filed on Friday, and it is unclear how the case will proceed.
