Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor known for her work on the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases, was fired by the Justice Department. This led her to send a strong warning to her former coworkers: “Fear is the tool of a tyrant.”
Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, shared this message in a note to the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office, where she had worked for almost 10 years. Her firing happened at a time when there was public anger over Attorney General Pam Bondi’s choice not to release more files related to the Epstein case.
