What we found

Supports. Reuters and The Hill report that Judge Jesse Furman ruled on Monday, October 26, 2026 that the Justice Department unlawfully fired Maurene Comey and must provide back pay.[1][3]

Supports. CBS News and CNBC report the judge retroactively reinstated Comey as an assistant U.S. attorney and ordered back pay from her July 2025 firing through December 20, 2025, when she took another job.[4][5]

Supports. AP reports the judge's ruling ordered her reinstatement with back pay, and that the DOJ said it disagrees and will appeal.[2][6]

Context. Because Comey has since taken another job and will not return to the DOJ, the reinstatement is retroactive; this does not make the claim false as of the posting date.[3][4]
