美国一名法官周一裁定，唐纳德·特朗普政府在2025年7月解雇前联邦检察官莫琳·科米的行为违法。这一裁决对莫琳·科米而言是一场胜利，她是前联邦调查局局长詹姆斯·科米的长女。
A US judge ruled on Monday that the Donald Trump administration acted unlawfully when it fired former federal prosecutor Maurene Comey in July 2025. The ruling is a victory for Comey, the eldest daughter of former FBI Director James Comey.
莫琳·科米在曼哈顿美国检察官办公室工作了近十年。据路透社报道，在此期间，她负责处理了针对已定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的关联人吉斯莱恩·麦克斯韦以及音乐大亨肖恩·“吹牛老爹”·库姆斯的刑事案件。
Maurene Comey worked for nearly a decade at the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office. During her time there, she handled criminal cases against Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, according to Reuters.
美国司法部于2025年7月解雇了莫琳·科米。她随后对特朗普政府提起诉讼，称自己失去工作是因为她的父亲身份以及父亲过去与特朗普的冲突。
Maurene Comey lawsuit against Trump administrationThe US Justice Department fired Maurene Comey in July 2025. She later filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, claiming that she lost her job because of her father’s identity and his past clashes with Trump.
莫琳·科米在诉讼中主张，她的解雇违反了联邦法律。这些法律保护公务员不因政治原因被解雇，并保障联邦雇员在雇佣纠纷中享有正当程序。
In her lawsuit, Maurene Comey argued that her firing violated federal laws. These laws protect civil servants from being fired for political reasons and guarantee federal employees due process in employment disputes.
此案之所以重要，是因为它审视了特朗普政府能否迅速解雇非政治任命的职业检察官。据路透社报道，这些检察官通常在不同政府任期内继续工作，无论总统是共和党人还是民主党人。
Trump firing career prosecutors faces legal scrutinyThe case is important because it examines whether the Trump administration can quickly dismiss career prosecutors who are not politically appointed. These prosecutors often continue working across different administrations, whether the president is a Republican or a Democrat, according to Reuters.
在第二个任期内，特朗普试图加强对联邦政府机构和部门的控制，而这些机构和部门传统上享有一定程度的独立于白宫的独立性。司法部正是受这些举措影响的机构之一。
During his second term, Trump has tried to increase his control over federal government agencies and departments that have traditionally enjoyed some independence from the White House. The Justice Department is among the institutions affected by these efforts.
特朗普的批评者指责他利用刑事调查和起诉来针对政治对手，同时奖励自己的盟友。
Trump’s critics have accused him of using criminal investigations and prosecutions to target political opponents while rewarding his allies.
莫琳·科米案引发外界对联邦执法机构受到政治影响的担忧。苹果、英伟达等超大型科技股拖累标普500指数走低，市场对人工智能支出的担忧令股市承压。美国司法部为解雇莫琳·科米辩护。司法部在法庭上为此次解雇进行了辩护。据路透社报道，司法部主张，像莫琳·科米这样的检察官可以在没有具体理由的情况下被总统或司法部长免职，因为他们在代表联邦政府处理刑事案件时行使着重要的行政权力。

It argued that prosecutors like Maurene Comey can be removed without a specific reason by the president or the attorney general because they exercise significant executive authority when representing the federal government in criminal cases, according to Reuters.
詹姆斯·科米相关案件与特朗普的恩怨有关。莫琳·科米的案件还与特朗普与其父亲詹姆斯·科米之间长期存在的冲突有关，詹姆斯·科米曾担任联邦调查局局长。特朗普在第一个任期内解雇了詹姆斯·科米，并多次就联邦调查局对俄罗斯干预2016年美国总统大选的调查批评他，特朗普赢得了那次大选。在另一起案件中，司法部指控詹姆斯·科米就授权向新闻媒体泄露信息一事向国会撒谎。
James Comey cases linked to Trump feudMaurene Comey’s case is also linked to the long-running conflict between Trump and her father, James Comey, who served as FBI director. Trump fired James Comey during his first term and has repeatedly criticised him over the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election, which Trump won. In a separate case, the Justice Department charged James Comey with lying to Congress about authorising leaks to the news media.
该案成为特朗普政府针对被视为政治对手的人采取法律行动的最引人注目的例子之一。詹姆斯·科米对指控表示不认罪。该案后来被驳回，因为一名法官认定，促成这些指控的联邦检察官未获合法任命。此后，詹姆斯·科米又面临另一起联邦案件，被控威胁特朗普。据路透社报道，他在该案中也表示不认罪。莫琳·科米离开司法部后已转入私人律师执业。
The case became one of the most high-profile examples of the Trump administration pursuing legal action against people seen as political opponents. James Comey pleaded not guilty to the charges. The case was later dismissed after a judge found that the US attorney who secured the charges had not been lawfully appointed. James Comey has since faced another federal case in which he was charged with threatening Trump. He has also pleaded not guilty in that case, according to Reuters. Maurene Comey has moved into private legal practice since leaving the Justice Department.
2026年2月，她加入纽约律师事务所Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler，担任合伙人。在诉讼中，莫琳·科米请求驻曼哈顿的美国地区法官杰西·弗曼将她恢复为联邦检察官，并追溯至2025年12月。
In February 2026, she joined the New York law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler as a partner. In her lawsuit, Maurene Comey asked US District Judge Jesse Furman, who is based in Manhattan, to reinstate her as a federal prosecutor retroactively through December 2025.
据路透社报道，她寻求复职是为了获得补发工资并取得退休福利资格。
She sought this reinstatement to receive back pay and qualify for retirement benefits, according to Reuters.
