NEW YORK (AP) — Maurene Comey can go ahead with her lawsuit claiming she was wrongfully fired from her job as a federal prosecutor because President Donald Trump dislikes her father, former FBI Director James Comey, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.

Judge Jesse M. Furman rejected an argument by the Justice Department that Comey’s complaint about her dismissal last year should be moved out of court and handled instead by an administrative panel.

Furman in Manhattan noted in a written ruling that the sole reason provided for Maurene Comey’s firing last year was Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which vests “executive power” in the president.

He said that reason takes her case outside the process that channels many, if not most, categories of disputes between federal employers and employees to avenues of administrative and judicial review outside of district courts.



Furman set a May 28 hearing for an initial pretrial conference in the civil case.
