[NY Post] Maurene Comey,
| …U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York. Her father used that position as a springboard to greater things, but it looks like dear Maurene will not have the same opportunities despite her resumé… |
the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was fired Wednesday from the powerful Manhattan US Attorney’s Office — where she prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, sources told The Post.
The reason for Comey’s firing, which law enforcement and Department of Justice sources confirmed, was not immediately clear. | According to the US Constitution, the president is the chief executive officer, which means he can hire and fire — with or without cause. |
President Trump has a long history of conflicts with the elder Comey and fired him as FBI director in 2017 during his first term.
Maurene Comey, who served as an assistant US attorney in the Southern District of New York since 2015, worked on the prosecutions of the disgraced financier pedophile Epstein and Maxwell, who was found guilty of multiple sex crimes at trial and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The nearly month-long trial ended in a jury acquitting the disgraced hip-hop mogul of the most serious charges against him — racketeering and sex trafficking — that could have landed him life in prison.
| If she couldn’t make that stick… |
