Justice Dept. Seeks Dismissal of Comey's Lawsuit

The U.S. Justice Department seeks to dismiss Maurene Comeys lawsuit, claiming she didnt follow proper administrative procedures before suing. Comey, a former federal prosecutor and daughter of ex-FBI Director James Comey, was fired in July, alleging political motivation due to her fathers ties to Trump. The Justice Department argues her case should first go to the Merit Systems Protection Board, while Comeys lawyers contend the board lacks expertise and independence. Comey, known for securing guilty verdicts in high-profile cases, was fired just two weeks before a jury convicted music mogul Sean Combs on prostitution-related charges. DNN | The Daily News Now!
