Lead prosecutor in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial
Maurene Comey is a federal prosecutor who served as a lead prosecutor on the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases at the Southern District of New York. She secured convictions in both cases, including Maxwell's conviction on sex trafficking charges. In July 2025, Comey was fired from the Justice Department without stated cause during the Trump administration. In September 2025, she sued the Trump administration alleging her termination was unconstitutional and retaliatory, based on her father's identity as former FBI Director James Comey and her perceived political affiliation. The Justice Department subsequently sought to dismiss her lawsuit in December 2025. Comey's role in the Epstein case was prosecutorial, not as a defendant or subject of criminal investigation.
Maurene Comey was the federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York who handled the Jeffrey Epstein criminal case before his death, secured his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell's conviction, and later sued the DOJ over her firing.
