Trump's dismissal of prosecutor Comey was illegal according to the court

A U.S. judge ruled that the Trump administration's dismissal of federal prosecutor Maurene Comey was illegal, marking a victory for her. Comey, who prosecuted high-profile cases, claimed her firing was politically motivated due to her father's identity. The case tested whether the Trump administration could dismiss prosecutors not appointed for political reasons. The Justice Department argued that such prosecutors could be removed without cause. Comey was previously involved in significant cases and has since joined a law firm, seeking reinstatement and back pay.
