DOJ fires Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey and a prosecutor in Sean Combs' and Ghislaine Maxwell's cases
NBC ^ | 07 156 2025 | Ryan J. Reilly, Jonathan Dienst, David Rohde and Zoë Richards

Federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was fired by the Justice Department on Wednesday, according to four sources familiar with the matter.

It was not clear why. One of the sources said the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York cited Article II of the Constitution, which establishes the executive power of the president.

Nick Biase, a spokesperson for the Southern District of New York, declined to comment.

Comey prosecuted Sean “Diddy” Combs during his sex trafficking trial this year. She also played a role in the prosecution of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, and the prosecution and conviction of his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

President Donald Trump is under intensifying political pressure from his MAGA base to release information related to the Epstein investigation. He has repeatedly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi's decision last week to decline to release any Epstein-related documents.

This might be a positive side effect of the Epstein controversy:

Pam Bondi has finally gotten it through her skull that her job performance has been unacceptable and she needs to get her ass in gear.

This might mean that Ghislanr Maxwell gets a new trial. Then discovery will enable more release of information.

of course she did, because Diddy knows the goods on a lot of Democrats, including Kamala Harris, who he endorsed and she was all gung ho about his endorsement I think her tweet still exists

Alan Dershowitz thinks Trump should commute Maxwell’s sentence and she is asking for a pardon.

Unfortunately not.

Bondi and the DOJ are still moving forward according to a July 14th article.

Thank goodness we have Trump and you are only a duped keyboard warrior.
