Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was fired on Wednesday from her job as a prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), according to multiple news outlets.
Maurene Comey worked on the criminal cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She also recently led the prosecution of the case against Sean “Diddy” Combs.
There was no specific reason given for her firing, according to The Associated Press, which cited a person who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters. Politico was the first to report on the firing.
The Hill reached out to the Department of Justice and Southern District of New York for comment.
