James Comey’s daughter who worked on Epstein case fired as federal prosecutor: Reports

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, JUL 17 – Maurene Comey was dismissed amid a Justice Department purge targeting prosecutors involved in politically sensitive cases, including those against Epstein, Maxwell, and Sean Combs.

  • Maurene Comey has been fired from her position as a federal prosecutor in Manhattan, according to two people familiar with the matter.
  • The notice of termination did not provide a reason, citing the broad powers of the President under the US Constitution.
  • A source indicated that Maurene Comey's connection to her father makes her position 'untenable' in the current administration.
  • She was a lead prosecutor in the cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as reported by The Associated Press.
