World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported28m ago
A United States judge has ruled that the Department of Justice illegally fired Maurene Comey, a former federal prosecutor in Manhattan and the daughter of former FBI director James Comey. Maurene Comey had served in her role for approximately a decade before her dismissal.
Following her firing, she filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice. She alleged that her termination was a result of her father's public criticism of President Donald Trump, or was otherwise based on her perceived political beliefs.
The judicial ruling finding the dismissal unlawful has heightened existing concerns regarding politically motivated terminations within the Department of Justice.
