nnThe US Justice Department fired Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor who handled high-profile cases against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Jeffrey Epstein. No explanation was given for her dismissal from the Southern District of New York office. Comey is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, whom President Trump previously fired. Her termination follows a pattern of the Justice Department removing lawyers involved in cases that angered Trump, including those related to the Capitol riot investigations. The firing occurs amid controversy over the administration’s handling of Epstein-related files.
