Reports: Maurene Comey, the Manhattan prosecutor who handled the Epstein case, is fired

Maurene Comey, the federal prosecutor who worked on both Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal cases, was fired on Wednesday, multiple outlets reported. The big picture: It was not immediately clear why Maurene Comey was dismissed from her job, but her firing is notable because she is the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, who was fired by President Trump during his first term. Representatives for the White House and the Department of Justice did not immediately respond to Axios' requests for comment on Wednesday evening.This is a breaking news story.
