Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey and prosecutor of Jeffrey Epstein, is FIRED!

Maurene Comey, who is former FBI Director James Comey’s daughter, was fired Wednesday from her job in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office, according to two people familiar with the matter who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The reason for her firing was not immediately clear. She did not immediately respond to phone calls and an email seeking comment. Spokespeople for the Justice Department and the U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment.

Comey, who had worked in the U.S. attorney’s office for nearly a decade, prosecuted both Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

Comey’s firing also comes as the Trump administration is reportedly investigating her father, whom Trump has long reviled. The investigations apparently relate to James Comey’s role in the probe of links between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia, as well as a recent Instagram post by James Comey that Trump allies saw as threatening to Trump.

And in recent months, Maurene Comey has been the target of renewed attacks by voices in Trump’s right-wing base, including Laura Loomer, who called on Bondi to fire her in May. More recently, Loomer has been leading the MAGA base’s outcry over the Justice Department’s decision not to release further Epstein-related documents.

Maurene Comey was given no explanation for her firing, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to discuss it publicly.

It was not clear whether she was fired by the office’s interim U.S. attorney, Jay Clayton, or whether the order to fire her came from Justice Department headquarters.

Maurene Comey’s title at the U.S. attorney’s office was senior trial counsel. Most recently, she was part of the team that prosecuted Sean “Diddy” Combs, which failed to win a conviction on the most serious charges.

The firing is the latest episode to rock the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office, formally known as the Southern District of New York. Earlier this year, the acting U.S. attorney and several other prosecutors resigned in protest after the DOJ ordered the office to abandon the corruption prosecution of New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Why investigate him? He handed Trump the election in 2016.

These are the kind of people who should flee the country before Trump has them...eliminated.

What is he, Irish? Maybe he and his family could head to Ireland.

She just finished prosecuting Diddy. I can’t believe MAGA world is happy about this.

Shit on this Comey bitch & her family, I hope they all end up in Alligator Alcatraz.

Seems like a stupid move. She knows all about the "Epstein files." Maybe she'll write a book.
