Attorney General Pam Bondi fired Maurene Comey, a Southern District of New York prosecutor who had previously prosecuted deceased child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, Politico reported on Wednesday.

Comey, a senior trial lawyer, is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, whom President Trump fired in 2017.

“The reason for her firing was not immediately clear. She did not immediately respond to phone calls and an email seeking comment,” Politico said. “Comey, who had worked in the U.S. attorney’s office for nearly a decade, prosecuted both Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.”

Maurene Comey’s dismissal from the DOJ comes during a probe into her father, who uploaded an image of seashells on a seashore organized to read “86 47.”

Many argued that Comey’s use of the “86” jargon was meant to advocate for the president’s killing. The New York Times reported last week that the Secret Service had tracked down the former FBI director following the incident.

James Comey claims that his post did not include any malicious intent.

This is just the latest headline out of the DOJ this week.

Bondi insisted during a Tuesday press conference that she would remain in her position for as long as President Donald Trump wanted her to, despite receiving a lot of backlash over the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

“Madam Attorney General, on this matter, it’s a priority clearly to DEA and the Department of Justice. Are you confident you’re going to still be here to execute this because there’s so many people calling for change at the Department of Justice?” a reporter asked.

“I’m going to be here for as long as the president wants me here, and I believe he’s made that crystal-clear – it’s four years. Well, three and a half now, right, we got six months in. Yeah, it feels like six years,” Bondi responded.

“But I was with [FBI] Director [Kash] Patel this morning and we are working on fighting violent crime. We are working on all these issues that we deeply care about to make America safe again and get these drugs off our streets,” she added.

WATCH:

Alan Dershowitz, one of Epstein’s former lawyers, has claimed this week that two courts in New York have put a clamp on information regarding the notorious financier and convicted sex offender’s case, not the Trump administration.

Dershowitz, who helped obtain Epstein a plea agreement in 2008, stated that there is no Epstein “client list,” only a redacted FBI affidavit from accusations.

During an interview on NewsNation with Chris Cuomo, Dershowitz said that none of the individuals in the document are now holding public office.

Dershowitz maintained that he is unable to divulge further material due to judicial orders but that Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump are “not responsible” for the missing information.

“No, there’s no client list and never has been a client list. A client list suggests that Jeffrey Epstein made a list of people to whom he trafficked women. What there is, is a redacted FBI affidavit from accusers. There are several of them from accusers that accuse Jeffrey — that accuse various people of having improper sex, and that has been redacted, the names of the people accuse have been blacked out,” Dershowitz began.

“Now, of course, because I was lawyer and I did all the investigations, I know who all these people are. I could figure out, based on everything that I saw, who Mr.X is, Mr. Y is, and Mr. Z. I can tell you right now: None of them are public figures who are currently in office. Some of them were previously in office. Some of them are dead. But there is no client list. And the redactions could be undone if you go to court,” Dershowitz added.

“So, many of the things that are being suppressed are being suppressed by two judges in Manhattan, and they’re doing it largely to protect the alleged accusers who are, in the view of the judges, victims, even though we don’t know what their actual status is. But the judges have issued orders, which is why I can’t disclose things I’d love to disclose, saying that you can’t disclose this information. But Pam Bondi and the Justice Department and Donald Trump are not responsible for that. I don’t know of any information that they could disclose that they haven’t disclosed,” he continued.
