James Comey has warned of a “grave danger” in maintaining trust in federal prosecuting after the Department of Justice (DOJ) fired his daughter, Maurene Comey, from her job as prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY).
Speaking in a video posted on Substack on Sunday, the former FBI director reacted to his daughter losing her job last week and accused President Donald Trump of “hammering” at the department.
Why It Matters
Maurene Comey most recently led the prosecution of hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and also held a role in the cases against the late disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.
The DOJ did not give a reason as to why she had been fired. The timing of her dismissal, amid ongoing fallout and suspicion swirling over the handling of the Epstein investigation has intensified an already politically charged atmosphere in the country.
Initially, the White House had ordered a review of the case and said it would publish names and evidence about Epstein’s associates. However, a recent memo from the Department of Justice and the FBI said there was no “client list” and that no further charges would be brought.
