Federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, was terminated by the Justice Department on Wednesday, according to four sources familiar with the matter.
It was not clear why Comey was fired. One of the sources said that Article II of the Constitution, which establishes the executive power of the president, was cited in Comey’s firing from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
Nick Biase, a spokesperson for the Southern District of New York, declined to comment.
Politico first reported on the termination.
Comey prosecuted Sean “Diddy” Combs during his sex trafficking trial this year. She also played a role in the investigation of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, and the prosecution and conviction of his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.
Maurene Comey’s father, James Comey, has been a frequent target for Trump, who fired the FBI director during his first term. James Comey played a central role in a probe of Russia’s election interference efforts in the 2016 presidential election.
