Attorney General Pam Bondi’s Justice Department has fired Maurene Comey, the federal prosecutor in the Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases and the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, according to reports.

Prominent MAGA voices have called for the attorney general’s firing amid attack over the Epstein investigation.

The fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files flap is cascading, further roiling a Justice Department and FBI that have struggled for months to appease the demands of far-right conservative personalities and influential members of President Donald Trump’s base.

Donald Trump directed Pam Bondi, the attorney-general, to request the release of grand-jury testimony about Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted child molester. The instruction came after the Wall Street Journal published details about a risqué birthday letter Mr Trump allegedly wrote to Epstein in 2003.

Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested in February that a list of famous people who had abused Epstein’s trafficked girls was “sitting on my desk right now to review.” Around the same time, Bondi and Trump’s FBI released what it billed as the “first phase of declassified Epstein files.

Several Trump backers have called for more transparency after Pam Bondi's Justice Department announced that no more files would be released.
