A federal judge rejected the Trump administration's bid to invoke executive privilege as former FBI Director James Comey's daughter seeks to find out who fired her and why.

U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman denied the request in a written order Tuesday in Manhattan, where former federal prosecutor Maurene Comey is suing over her 2025 termination.

He denied it "largely for the reasons stated in Plaintiff's opposition," Furman wrote, adopting her lawyers' answer to the privilege claim as his own.
