Investigation figure Maurene Comey, linked to the Epstein-Diddy case, dismissed from post.
In a surprising turn of events, federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, has been reportedly fired from her position at the U.S. Department of Justice. The news was announced on Wednesday, July 2025, and has since sparked speculation and criticism.
Maurene Comey, who has been a respected figure in the U.S. Attorney's Office for nearly a decade, has led successful prosecutions of gang members, drug and firearm traffickers, and murderers. She also played a key role in the high-profile cases of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as the recent trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs.
In the Combs trial, the jury acquitted Combs of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges but convicted him on prostitution-related charges. Comey's work was instrumental in bringing these cases to court.
Comey's father, James Comey, was famously fired by President Trump during his first term in May 2017, amidst the Russia investigation. The reasons for Maurene Comey's dismissal, however, remain unclear. The U.S. Department of Justice has not issued an official statement regarding the circumstances of her termination.
The news of Comey's dismissal was reported by several reputable news portals, including Politico and the New York Times. The arrest of Epstein, another case Comey was involved in, caused a global stir due to his connections with American high society, including President Donald Trump. However, the FBI has stated that there is no legendary customer list of Epstein with the names of US elites.
Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has been involved in the Epstein case, recently made headlines for a misunderstanding about the Epstein customer list. In a TV interview, she said the list was on her desk for review. However, the White House later clarified that she meant the investigation files were on her desk, not the customer list.
This misunderstanding has led to criticism of Bondi, with some questioning her handling of the Epstein case. The FBI has also stated that they found no evidence of involvement by other prominent figures in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
The exact reason for Maurene Comey's dismissal is currently unclear. Speculation about the reasons for her dismissal is widespread, with some suggesting it may be related to her work on the Epstein and Combs cases or her father's controversial firing by President Trump.
Trump recently stood by Attorney General Pam Bondi, and the FBI has maintained that Epstein's death was a suicide. The FBI stated that they found no evidence of connections between Moscow and members of Trump's campaign team at the time of James Comey's firing.
This development in the U.S. Department of Justice is certain to be closely watched, with many awaiting further details about the reasons for Maurene Comey's dismissal.
- Despite the ongoing speculation and criticism surrounding her dismissal, the U.S. Department of Justice has not issued an official statement regarding the circumstances that led to Maurene Comey's termination, just like they did not release information about a legendary customer list of Jeffrey Epstein.
- The news of Comey's dismissal has been reported in various political, general news, and crime-and-justice portals, such as Politico and the New York Times, mirroring the widespread media attention given to her high-profile cases, like those involving Jeffrey Epstein and Sean "Diddy" Combs.
