DOJ fires James Comey’s daughter who prosecuted Epstein and associate Ghislaine Maxwell – Washington Examiner
Maurene comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was fired from her position as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York. She had been involved in prosecuting Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Her dismissal comes amid political tensions, following President Donald Trump’s criticisms and claims that the Epstein files are a “Democrat-led scam.” Trump accused Comey, along with former Presidents Obama and Biden, of fabricating evidence related to the Epstein case. Conservative influencer Laura Loomer had previously called for Maurene Comey and her husband to be removed from the DOJ. Following her firing, prosecutors showed support for Maurene Comey, escorting her out of the office. It remains unclear whether her husband, Lucas Issacharoff, has also been terminated.
DOJ fires James Comey’s daughter who prosecuted Epstein and associate Ghislaine Maxwell
The Justice Department fired Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, on Wednesday.
Maurene Comey was an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York and helped prosecute Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
The New York Times reported she was being fired under Article II of the Constitution, which describes the powers granted to the president. Her firing comes after President Donald Trump has attacked anyone pushing for the release of the Epstein files, declaring the documents a Democrat-led “scam.” His rhetoric on the files has stunned his supporters, who believed the administration was vigorously pursuing their release.
“The [FBI] can look at this Jeffrey Epstein hoax. … That’s all put out by Democrats,” he told Real America’s Voice Wednesday. “Some of the naive Republicans fall right into line like they always do. They don’t have the sustainability.”
Trump also said on Tuesday that the files were made up by James Comey and former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
Conservative influencer Laura Loomer, who holds some influence over Trump, said in May that “Pam Blondi” had been allowing Maurene Comey and her husband, Lucas Issacharoff, to work at the Southern District of New York.
“Both Maurene Comey and Lucas Issacharoff need to be FIRED from the DOJ immediately. If Blondi refuses to fire them, she should RESIGN,” she said. After Maurene was fired, Loomer said it was “+1 for Blondi today!” Maurene Comey joins a list of officials removed from public service following Loomer’s call for their termination.

It’s unclear if Issacharoff has also been fired.
According to Politico, prosecutors in the office rallied around Maurene Comey, with dozens of them banding together to escort her out of the office for the last time.
