Maurene Comey, daughter of ex-FBI Director James Comey, has been terminated from her role as a federal prosecutor in Manhattan, Politico reports, citing two sources familiar with the matter. The reason for her dismissal remains unclear.
Comey, who served in the U.S. Attorney’s office for nearly a decade, led prosecutions against financier Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell for sex trafficking minors—a case that fueled divisions within the Trump administration, Republican circles, and the MAGA movement. Her father, fired by former President Donald Trump during his first term, remains a frequent target of the ex-president.
