Prosecutor Maurene Comey who was fired after fumbling Diddy case sues Trump to get her job back
2025-09-16
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Former federal prosecutor Maurene Comey
…daughter of James Comey, who now will not follow in her Daddy’s footsteps to the top…
sued the Trump administration Monday to get her job back, saying her firing was for political reasons and was unconstitutional.

Comey was infamously fired in July without warning after she somehow bungled the case against Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

Her lawsuit in Manhattan federal court blamed the firing on the fact that her father is James Comey, the former FBI director who Trump fired in 2017, 'or because of her perceived political affiliation and beliefs, or both.'

Comey is seeking to be reinstated and a declaration that her firing was unlawful and a violation of the Constitution's 'Separation of Powers' clause.

'Defendants have not provided any explanation whatsoever for terminating Ms. Comey. In truth, there is no legitimate explanation,' the lawsuit said.

On her way out, she infamously sent one final staff-wide email to her colleagues in the Manhattan US Attorney's Office, urging them to stay strong in the face of a 'tyrant.'

'If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain,' she wrote. 'Do not let that happen.

'Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought.
