Maurene Comey, the federal prosecutor involved in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, has filed a lawsuit alleging her politically motivated dismissal. The lawsuit claims the firing, which occurred without explanation shortly before the Trump administration made a deal with Maxwell, was a violation of due process. Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey and a prosecutor on cases involving Maxwell and Sean “Diddy” Combs, asserts the termination was retaliatory due to her father’s adversarial relationship with the former President.

The lawsuit names several defendants, including the Department of Justice and the Executive Office of the President, seeking reinstatement through a jury trial.
