"Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor involved in cases against Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and led the recent case against Sean Diddy Combs, filed a lawsuit on Monday challenging her abrupt termination as politically motivated retaliation against her father, former FBI director James Comey. According to the court documents, the justice department fired Comey without cause or explanation on 16 July, citing only article 2 of the United States constitution and the laws of the United States in a brief email."
"When she asked for a reason, interim US attorney Jay Clayton told her: All I can say is it came from Washington. I can't tell you anything else. Just three months before her termination, the 35-year-old prosecutor received a glowing review from the same attorney who would later deliver news of her firing, the lawsuit alleges. The lawsuit seeks her reinstatement, back pay, and a declaration that her termination violated the constitution."
Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor who handled high-profile cases including Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Sean 'Diddy' Combs, filed a lawsuit after being terminated on 16 July. The Justice Department sent a brief email citing only Article II and federal law and gave no reason. Interim US attorney Jay Clayton told her, 'All I can say is it came from Washington. I can't tell you anything else.' Three months earlier she had received a glowing review from the same attorney. She seeks reinstatement, back pay, and a declaration that the firing violated the Constitution. The firing followed a pressure campaign by far-right activist Laura Loomer and is linked to retaliation against James Comey amid public tensions including a seashell message spelling '8647'.
