BREAKING: Judge rules Comey's daughter 'unlawfully' fired by DOJ

The order reaches beyond restoring Maurene Comey's job: the Justice Department must reinstate her retroactively and award five months of back pay, MS NOW's Peter Alexander reports.

A judge ruled that the department unlawfully fired the career federal prosecutor. In the brief bulletin, Alexander identifies Comey as the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey and outlines her prosecution work in the Southern District of New York.

That family connection is central to her account of the dismissal. Comey says she was fired solely because of who her father is. The report gives the court's ruling and remedy without detailing its legal reasoning.

The Short drew more than 420,000 views within nine hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for that format. It arrives alongside unusually fast starts for MS NOW's midterm coverage, including Katy Tur's discussion with Ali Velshi and David Wasserman about a national poll favoring Democrats and shifts in House race ratings.
