Comey had a major law career, working on the prosecutions of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

The latter was found guilty of multiple sex crimes at trial and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Comey also served as a prosecutor for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs – one of a trio of high-profile cases she faced.

The veteran lawyer in the Southern District of New York was often considered to be among the state’s most elite prosecutors.

Both law enforcement and Department of Justice sources confirmed Comey’s firing.

It comes amid the Trump administration cracking down on Justice Department lawyers.

Comey’s father James has had a particularly frosty relationship with the US President in recent years.

James Comey was the FBI director when Trump first took to office in 2017.

But controversy struck early on during Trump’s first White House stint as Comey refused to pledge his loyalty to the President at a private dinner.

Just a few months later, Comey was fired amid an investigation into potential links between Russia and Trump’s presidential campaign.

In May, the Secret Service questioned the former bureau director regarding a mysterious “86 47” Instagram post. This post sparked allegations from Trump, who claimed that Comey was inciting another assassination attempt against him.
