A federal judge ruled on Monday that Maurene Comey, the daughter of the former FBI director James Comey, was unlawfully fired from her job as a federal prosecutor in New York last year Judge Jesse Furman said that Comey, who was an assistant US attorney for a decade, was illegally fired in July 2025 despite her work on some of the nation’s highest-profile cases and consistently receiving “the highest accolades from supervisors and peers alike”. After her firing, Comey sued the justice department and others, saying her termination violated the constitutional separation of powers, the first amendment and the due process clause of the fifth amendment. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/26/maureen-comey-firing-judge-ruling?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
