Maurene Comey Fired Amid DOJ Controversy

Maurene Comey, a veteran federal prosecutor and daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, has been fired from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, according to multiple sources. Comey played prominent roles in high-profile cases, including those involving Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell. The Justice Department has not publicly disclosed a reason for her termination, though Article II of the Constitution, which grants executive power to the president, was reportedly cited. Her dismissal comes amid renewed political scrutiny of her father's legacy—James Comey was previously fired by former President Trump—and ongoing controversy over investigations related to the Epstein case. The lack of transparency and her nearly decade-long tenure have fueled speculation about the motivations behind her removal. Officials and spokespersons have declined to comment further as the situation develops.
