Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey, fired from top US Attorney’s Office job after working Diddy, Epstein cases
Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was fired Wednesday from the powerful Manhattan US Attorney’s Office — where she prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein, his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and, most recently, Sean “Diddy” Combs,” sources told The Post.
The reason for Comey’s firing, which law enforcement and Department of Justice sources confirmed, was not immediately clear. She was informed that she was being axed under Article II of the Constitution, which describes the powers of the president, the sources added.
President Trump has a long history of conflicts with the elder Comey and fired him as FBI director in 2017 during his first term.
Maurene Comey, who served as an assistant US attorney in the Southern District of New York since 2015, worked on the prosecutions of the disgraced financier pedophile Epstein and Maxwell, who was found guilty of multiple sex crimes at trial and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Comey most recently worked on the high-profile sex trafficking case against Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The nearly month-long trial ended in a jury acquitting the disgraced hip-hop mogul of the most serious charges against him — racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking — that could have landed him life in prison.
He was only found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
A spokesman for the Southern District of New York declined to comment Wednesday. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. News of Comey’s firing was first reported by Politico.
The Epstein firestorm was revived last week after the Justice Department and FBI concluded in a memo that the convicted pedophile, 66, killed himself in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 — and did not keep a list of wealthy and powerful “clients” to whom he trafficked underage teens.
That conclusion sparked a storm of backlash from top MAGA personalities, who suspected that the Trump administration wasn’t being fully upfront about Epstein, despite the 47th president’s promise on the campaign trail to release the files on the convicted pedophile.
Comey’s ouster also follows renewed attacks from Trump’s base, including conservative firebrand Laura Loomer, who publicly urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to fire her and her husband, Assistant US Attorney in SDNY Lucas Issacharoff, back in May.
“Today, the DOJ fired Maurene Comey from the United States Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York,” Loomer posted on X after the news broke.
“This comes 2 months after my pressure campaign on Pam Bondi to fire Comey’s daughter and Comey’s son in law from the DOJ.”
Loomer has claimed Issacharoff, who has worked in SDNY’s Civil Division since 2019, has “a long history of being a Trump hater.”
“No word yet on whether or not he was also fired today, but he should be. +1 for Blondi today!” Loomer cheered.
Trump has since spent days dismissing Epstein’s case as a “big hoax” concocted by the Democrats for political gain — and blasting suspicious GOP members for being “duped” by their colleagues on the other side of the political aisle.
The prez has also lashed out, pressing the country and news reporters to stop focusing on the notorious predator.
“They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years,” Trump railed on Truth Social Wednesday.
“I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.”
The Trump administration is investigating James Comey for potential criminal conduct during the FBI’s Trump-Russia collusion probe in 2016.
The Secret Service also interviewed the ex-bureau director in May for a cryptic “86 47” Instagram post that led to accusations from Trump that Comey was calling for another assassination attempt against him.
