Judge: Trump DOJ illegally fired ex-FBI director's daughter, Maurene Comey, as a federal prosecutor
Americas4 sources3 countries3m ago
On Monday, a federal judge ruled that Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor and daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was unlawfully fired from her position last year. U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman determined that the termination by the Department of Justice was illegal and ordered that she must receive back pay.
Comey had served as an assistant U.S. attorney in New York for a decade prior to her dismissal. During the legal proceedings, Judge Furman explicitly rejected arguments presented by the Trump administration in defense of the firing.
The ruling marks a significant judicial finding against the Department of Justice's termination of a long-serving federal prosecutor, mandating financial restitution for the unlawful dismissal.
