James Comey’s daughter who worked on Epstein case fired as federal prosecutor: Reports

MANHATTAN, JUL 16 – Maurene Comey was dismissed without explanation amid political tensions involving her father's investigations and controversies over Epstein-related prosecutions, sources said.

  • Federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, involved in the Epstein and Maxwell cases, was fired today, with the notice citing the President's broad powers.
  • Maurene Comey was a lead prosecutor on the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
  • The reason for her firing was not immediately clear, but a person familiar with the situation said being a Comey is untenable in this administration given her father James Comey's criticism of the administration.
