Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor and the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, told her former colleagues in an email that her sudden firing should “fuel the fire” of their work fighting abuses of power.

Comey, who prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein, was fired from the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's office amid a public uproar over the attorney general's decision not to release additional files in the case.

Trump continues to face backlash from his MAGA supporters over his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. He's called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to release "whatever she thinks is credible," while saying he doesn't understand the interest in the case, calling it "sordid" but "boring."

President Donald Trump accused former FBI Director James Comey and former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden of making up the Epstein files, which have recently become a thorn in the Trump administration’s side.
