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.

Maurene Comey, who helped prosecute Jeffrey Epstein and Sean Combs, was dismissed without a detailed explanation. She is the daughter of James B. Comey, a longtime adversary of President Trump.
