A federal judge ruled this week that Maureen Comey, a federal prosecutor and daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was unlawfully fired by the administration, according to a Fox News report.
Comey had served as a federal prosecutor for about a decade before her dismissal, according to the report. No appeal of the ruling had been announced as of Monday.
The ruling is among several legal challenges filed this year over the administration’s dismissals of federal employees, according to the report.
Comey’s father, James Comey, was fired as FBI director in 2017 after clashing with the Trump administration over the Russia investigation and has since faced his own legal disputes with the administration.
Additional details on the court that issued the ruling and the legal grounds behind it were not included in the report. The administration had not announced whether it would appeal as of Monday.
