Maurene Comey Sued DOJ for Politically Motivated Firing Amid Epstein After Combs


by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 15 – Maurene Comey has sued the DOJ for being fired, saying that "the politically motivated termination of Ms. Comey—ostensibly under “Article II of the Constitution”—upends bedrock principles of our democracy and justice system. 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."   Complaint on Patreon here

The firing took place soon after the mix verdict in US v. Sean Combs in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and amid since-denied requests for unsealing of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury transcripts.

The discovery in this case, and any trial, could get into both issues.  Inner City Press is covering it.

The case is Comey v. US Department of Justice, et al., 1:25-cv-7625 (Unassigned)
