Judge to Review Comey’s Termination Case Against Trump Administration

Former federal prosecutor Maurene Comey is suing the Trump administration for her “abruptly and wrongfully terminated” position, alleging it was due to her father’s identity as the former FBI director or her political beliefs. The parties informed the judge that they are not discussing settlement options and believe a trial is necessary. Comey seeks a court order for the government to produce evidence, while defense lawyers argue the case should be addressed by the Merit Systems Protection Board. Government attorneys assert that Comey’s claims are routine and lack novelty.
