Fired Prosecutor Maurene Comey, Who Handled Epstein Case, Sues Trump Over Her Ouster
"Comey, who worked out of the Southern District of New York, claims in the suit that she was let go for no reason by Attorney General Pam Bondi in July. The politically motivated termination of Ms. Comey ostensibly under Article II of the Constitution' upends bedrock principles of our democracy and justice system, the lawsuit reads, according to the Times."
"Assistant United States attorneys like Ms. Comey must do their jobs without fearing or favoring any political party or perspective, guided solely by the law, the facts and the pursuit of justice. Comey's lawsuit names the Office of the President, Bondi, and others as defendants, according to the Times. Comey is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, who was also fired by Trump back in 2017."
Maurene Comey, a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York who secured sex-trafficking charges against Jeffrey Epstein, filed a lawsuit after an abrupt July firing. The lawsuit alleges that Attorney General Pam Bondi let Comey go for no reason and describes the termination as politically motivated and ostensibly justified under Article II. The filing contends the removal upends principles of democracy and the justice system and asserts that Assistant United States attorneys must act without fearing or favoring any political party, guided solely by law, facts and the pursuit of justice. The complaint names the Office of the President, Bondi, and others as defendants, and notes Comey is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey.
