Prosecutor in Diddy and Epstein cases fired by justice department

The US Department of Justice has fired Maurene Comey, a prosecutor involved in cases against Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Sean "Diddy" Combs. Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was removed from her job at the Southern District of New York without explanation. This move follows a pattern of firings by the Trump administration of officials involved in cases unfavorable to the president, such as the investigation into Trump's ties to Russia.
