The Justice Department gave no reason for its dismissal of Maurene Comey, a longtime federal prosecutor in Manhattan and the daughter of the former F.B.I. director, James Comey.

Lawyers for Comey, who was fired in July, say she was let go because her father James Comey, a former FBI director, is a long-time Trump adversary.
