Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was unlawfully fired from her job as a federal prosecutor in New York last year, a federal judge ruled Monday.
Judge Jesse M. Furman said that Comey, who was an assistant U.S. 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.”
