U.S. District Judge Stanley Bastian refused to pause his ruling reinstating Rogoff, whom Trump fired within an hour of his July 15 swearing-in, and DOJ says it will appeal and seek a stay.

Bastian refused to pause his ruling reinstating Rogoff.
This is plausible from the Courthouse News account of a bench ruling, but none of the SOURCES descriptions specifically confirms that a stay was denied. The story states it without attribution.
Medium
DOJ says it will appeal and seek a stay.
This is a stated intention attributed by the story to DOJ. The desk reports that DOJ said it, not that an appeal has been filed.
Medium
Trump fired Rogoff 54 minutes after his oath.
The story attributes the precise figure to the Washington Examiner. It is otherwise backed only by an X post. Other outlets say only 'within an hour', which is consistent but not independent confirmation of the exact number.

Bastian said of the statute: 'It does not say "until the president fires the person selected."'
This is a named quote attributed to Judge Bastian. None of the SOURCES descriptions reproduces the wording, so it should be checked against the Courthouse News or NBC account of the bench ruling.
