Maurene Comey Fired After Epstein and Diddy Cases

Veteran federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was abruptly fired by the U.S. Department of Justice after her prominent involvement in the high-profile cases against Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Maurene Comey, who served in the Southern District of New York, helped lead the successful prosecution of Maxwell on sex trafficking charges and was involved in Epstein’s case prior to his death. Most recently, she prosecuted Diddy in a high-profile trial that resulted in a mixed verdict: acquittal on the most serious charges and a conviction on a lesser charge.

No specific reason was provided for her dismissal, according to multiple sources familiar with the decision. The move comes amid broader criticism of the Justice Department for firing prosecutors linked to politically sensitive investigations, raising questions about the motivations behind the shakeup.
