纽约南区联邦法官Jesse Furman于周一作出裁决,认定前FBI局长James Comey的女儿、美国助理检察官Maurene Comey在2025年7月遭到非法解雇 1。这位担任助理检察官长达十年的起诉人此前向司法部提起诉讼,声称自己因父亲与特朗普的政治对立关系以及自身的政治信仰而成为针对性解雇的目标,此举违反了宪法中的权力分立原则、第一修正案以及第五修正案的正当程序条款 1。
Furman法官在判决中驳回了政府提出的总统拥有绝对免职权的论点,明确指出国会依据最高法院近两个世纪以来的判例保护,有权监管联邦检察官的移除 1。法官强调,接受被告方的论证将违背“近两个世纪的最高法院先例”,并断言:“本院得出被告错误的结论” 1。他还警告称,“如果接受被告的主张,将动摇这个国家宪法体系所确立的根本平衡” 1。
A federal judge in New York has determined that the July 2025 dismissal of Maurene Comey from her role as an assistant U.S. attorney was unlawful 1. The ruling by Judge Jesse Furman rejected the government’s argument that the president possesses absolute authority to remove federal prosecutors, stating that such a claim "flies in the face of nearly two centuries of Supreme Court precedent" protecting congressional power over these removals 1. In his decision, Furman explicitly noted that accepting the defendants' position would "unsettle the very equilibrium established by this Nation’s constitutional system," concluding that "The Court concludes the Defendants are wrong" 1.
Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, had served as an assistant U.S. attorney for ten years before her termination 1. She filed suit against the Department of Justice, alleging that she was targeted for dismissal due to her father’s political antagonism with Donald Trump and her own political beliefs 1. Her legal challenge asserted that the firing violated the constitutional separation of powers, as well as the First Amendment and the due process protections of the Fifth Amendment 1.
