DOJ Seeks Dismissal of Lawsuit by Maurene Comey

The Justice Department plans to move or dismiss a lawsuit filed by Maurene Comey, a former prosecutor who claims her firing was “unlawful and unconstitutional.” Comey, the daughter of ex-FBI Director James Comey, alleges she received no due process or legitimate explanation for her dismissal from the Manhattan office. The case has been reassigned to the Northern District of New York, where the U.S. Attorney’s office, led by a Trump loyalist, seeks an extension to respond. Comey asserts her termination violated protections under the Civil Service Reform Act, alleging political discrimination linked to her father’s status.
