Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was reportedly fired from the Department of Justice
Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was reportedly fired from the Department of Justice Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
For nearly a decade, Comey has worked within the U.S. Attorney’s Office, leading high-profile cases such as that of deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s, at least prior to his death, as well as the case of rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs. According to Politico and the New York Times, multiple sources said Comey was relieved of her duties.
While it remains unclear why Comey was allegedly fired, the news comes on the heels of a loss in her case involving Combs, as a New York jury found the rapper not guilty on July 2 of some of the most serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
