Fired federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, is suing the Trump administration for her sudden termination in July. As an assistant U.S. attorney in Manhattan, Comey had worked on several high-profile cases, including against convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell. Comey’s lawsuit claims that she had been fired for “her father’s protected speech, or because of her perceived political affiliation and beliefs, or both.” The lawsuit also notes that the far-right activist Laura Loomer had called for Comey’s firing on social media.
