Maurene Comey, a veteran federal prosecutor known for her work on high-profile cases, criticized the Trump administration following her unexpected dismissal from the U.S. Attorney's Office. She expressed concerns about fear influencing decisions in the office, especially after her unceremonious termination without explanation from the Justice Department. Comey highlighted the importance of commitment to justice and truth, encouraging her colleagues not to succumb to fear. Her departure coincided with public protests concerning the Department of Justice's handling of the Epstein case and amid context regarding inquiries into her father, James Comey.
Veteran federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, known for her work on the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases, delivered a scathing rebuke of the Trump administration just one day after her abrupt dismissal from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan.
Comey warned that fear is the tool of a tyrant, in what appeared to be a veiled hit at both President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Comey told Politico on Wednesday she received no reason for her dismissal, only a memo from the Justice Department informing her of the move.
Comey warned that if a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain, urging her colleagues to remain committed to justice.
