Sources: Maurene Comey, Prosecutor in Diddy Case, Dismissed from SDNY

On Wednesday, the U.S. Justice Department removed Maurene Comey from her position at the Southern District of New York, where she had been serving in a leading capacity, multiple informants informed ABC News.

No statement was given by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office or the Justice Department when approached for comments on the dismissal.

Renowned for her effective work as an assistant U.S. attorney, Comey had been notable for her role in prosecuting those connected to Jeffrey Epstein, as well as various gang affiliates. She was recently involved in the high-profile trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, leading to his conviction on a lesser charge while being cleared of more severe allegations.

Maurene Comey, the daughter of ex-FBI director James Comey, became a point of frustration for President Donald Trump, who reportedly complained about her being in the administration.

Continuing Changes in New York's Federal Prosecutor's Office

This development adds to ongoing transitions within the prestigious federal prosecutor's office in New York.

Earlier in the year, in attempts to introduce his preferences, Trump made adjustments by clearing the path for Jay Clayton to temporarily lead the office, following Matthew Podolsky's departure.

Podolsky's successor, Danielle Sassoon, had previously stepped in, expressing her stand by leaving over the controversial decision by the Justice Department to dismiss corruption accusations against the mayor of New York, Eric Adams.

Sassoon's role as interim U.S. attorney was initially installed by Trump after Edward Kim was removed amid the governmental changeover.
