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.

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.

Comey's firing came amid a spate of dismissals of prosecutors by the Justice Department without explanation.

Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor involved in criminal cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, sued the Trump administration to get her job back.

The lawsuit from the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey accuses the Trump administration of violating the Constitution and civil service protections.
