US Judge Rules Trump Administration Unlawfully Fired Prosecutor Maurene Comey
A US federal judge ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully fired Maurene Comey, a former Manhattan federal prosecutor, in July 2025. The judge found her dismissal violated constitutional and statutory protections, ordering her reinstatement and back pay. Comey, daughter of ex-FBI Director James Comey, alleged her firing was politically motivated due to her father's conflicts with Trump. The Justice Department argued for broad executive removal powers, but the court rejected this, citing separation of powers and due process violations.
