Maurene Comey, a prosecutor who handled high-profile Diddy and Epstein cases, was fired by the Justice Department, and legal analysts offer divided opinions.

Former FBI Director James Comey issued his first public statement since his daughter Maurene Comey was fired from the Department of Justice earlier this month. Comey recorded a video statement on his Substack on Sunday.

Comey prosecuted Sean “Diddy” Combs this year and played a role in the investigation and subsequent prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
