Maurene Comey issues fiery memo after ouster from US attorney’s office
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, JUL 16 – Maurene Comey's firing is linked to political purges amid controversies over Epstein case files and Trump-related prosecutions, raising concerns about Justice Department independence.
- On Wednesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey, who prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell, and Sean 'Diddy' Combs, was fired from the Southern District of New York.
- In his second term, Trump and his allies have sought to purge Justice Department employees involved in cases he disagreed with, due to family ties.
- In a farewell note, Comey said, `Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought,` and urged colleagues, `Instead of fear, let this moment fuel the fire that already burns at the heart of this place.`
- The office’s lawyers rallied around Comey, while critics argued the DOJ purges undermine independence.
- Since January, the Justice Department has been purging officials tied to cases against Trump, raising concerns over civil service protections and long-term independence.
