Maurene Comey, fed prosecutor who worked on Epstein, Diddy cases, says she was fired by DOJ without reason

Maurene Comey, the daughter of ex-FBI Director James Comey, said Thursday she was fired from the powerful Manhattan US Attorney’s Office “without reason” — as she warned the Justice Department‘s decision to axe her will only sow fear.

“Yesterday was unexpectedly my last day in the Office. I was summarily fired via memo from Main Justice that did not give a reason for my termination,” Comey wrote in a memo to colleagues, which was obtained by The Post.

The firing comes after Comey prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein, his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and, most recently, Sean “Diddy” Combs.

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

“Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought. Instead of fear, let this moment fuel the fire that already burns at the heart of this place.”
