According to sources, President Donald Trump privately vented about having a Comey work in his administration.

Comey prosecuted Sean “Diddy” Combs this year and played a role in the investigation and subsequent prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Maurene Comey, the Manhattan sex crimes prosecutor fired by President Donald Trump’s Justice Department — who went further than any of her peers in holding notorious sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein and his convicted madame Ghislaine Maxwell to account — warned her longtime colleagues Thursday of a dark new era in which “fear is the tool of a tyrant.

Trump continues to face backlash from his MAGA supporters over his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. He's called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to release "whatever she thinks is credible," while saying he doesn't understand the interest in the case, calling it "sordid" but "boring."

The decision to dismiss Comey was delivered as the Justice Department faces renewed scrutiny over its handling of the sex offender's case.
