The Justice Department (DOJ) has fired federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, who worked on the high-profile cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, several US outlets, including Politico, AP, and the New York Times have reported.
She is the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, who was dismissed by US President Donald Trump in 2017 amid the ‘Russiagate’ probe against the president. Trump later accused Comey of spreading “false statements and lies” and of being a “dirty cop.”
No specific reason was given for the sacking of Maurene Comey, the media claimed on Wednesday, citing informed sources.
