Jesse M. Furman

Rule Changes

Ruled the firing illegal and set a November 9 deadline on Comey's remaining First Amendment claim

A federal judge ruled on October 26 that the Justice Department illegally fired Maurene Comey, a career prosecutor in Manhattan and the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey. Judge Jesse Furman ordered back pay from her July 16, 2025 termination through December 20, 2025, and the department says it will appeal.
