Maurene Comey, a senior trial counsel at the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office, was fired on Wednesday. The sudden dismissal comes after her involvement in high-profile cases including Jeffrey Epstein and Sean “Diddy” Combs.
According to Politico, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey had worked in the U.S. attorney’s office for almost ten years. During her time there, she played a key role in prosecuting both Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell in significant sex trafficking cases.
