A US judge ruled Tuesday that Maurene Comey, a former federal prosecutor who alleges her firing was politically motivated, can proceed with a lawsuit against the Trump administration despite government objections.

Comey is the daughter of former FBI director James Comey -- a prominent critic of US President Donald Trump -- and was summarily dismissed in July as an assistant US attorney in Manhattan.
