US Justice Department seeks to dismiss Maurene Comey lawsuit on procedural grounds
The Justice Department argues dismissal is warranted because Maurene Comey did not first appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board as required by administrative rules.
- The U.S. Justice Department is seeking dismissal of a lawsuit filed by fired former federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, saying she did not properly follow administrative complaint procedures before suing.
- Maurene Comey's lawsuit claims her firing was based on political reasons, including that her father is former FBI Director James Comey, who was fired by President Donald Trump in 2017.
- The Justice Department maintains that the Merit Systems Protection Board is the appropriate forum to determine whether Comey's removal was improper, rejecting her argument that appealing to the board would be futile.
