Trump's DOJ illegally fired ex-FBI director's daughter Maurene Comey, judge rules
The judge granted Comey retroactive reinstatement and back pay from the date of her firing through Dec. 20
What the coverage shows
Both outlets lead on the judge’s ruling that Maurene Comey was unlawfully fired, and both identify her as James Comey’s daughter. CNBC’s headline adds that she was an Epstein prosecutor and says the judge ordered her retroactive reinstatement, while CBS News instead foregrounds that she was abruptly fired in July 2025 and notes only in the extract that she sued the DOJ over the firing.
