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

Comey, a veteran federal prosecutor who worked on the Jeffrey Epstein case, was fired as President Trump seeks to downplay reaction to the matter.

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

Comey also called fear “the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought.” “Instead of fear, let this moment fuel the fire that already burns at the heart of this place,” she continued. “A fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power. Of commitment to seek justice for victims. Of dedication to truth above all else.”

La., joined a growing number of conservatives calling for the Justice Department to release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. The push comes after Reps. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky.
