Maurene Comey, James Comey's daughter, was unlawfully fired, judge rules
Maurene Comey was abruptly fired in July 2025 from her job as a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York. She sued the DOJ over her firing, claiming it was unlawful.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around the same legal ruling on Maurene Comey’s firing, with CBS News and PBS NewsHour each identifying her as James Comey’s daughter. PBS NewsHour goes further in its extract, saying the judge found a separation-of-powers and due-process violation, while CBS News instead foregrounds the timing and that she had sued the DOJ over the dismissal.
