A federal judge has ruled that a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by prosecutor Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James B. Comey, will proceed in federal court rather than through administrative channels, despite government efforts to move the case.
Judge Jesse M. Furman in Manhattan stated in a written ruling on Tuesday that the sole reason provided for her dismissal last year was Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which grants "executive power" to the president.
