James Comey blasts US government: Ex-FBI director lashes out in daughter's defence after DOJ dismissal; warns of 'hard weeks in Trump era'

James Comey (File photo) Former FBI Director James Comey has sharply criticized the Trump and his administration after the department of justice abruptly fired his daughter, Maurene Comey, a longtime federal prosecutor known for her work on high-profile cases involving Jeffrey Epstein and Sean 'Diddy' Combs. 'The reservoir is in grave danger,' Comey said in a statement shared by Fox News being circulated on social media, after his daughter's dismissal. 'Right now, Trump and the hacks who lead the Department of Justice are hammering at the dam day after day, trying to turn it into just another gold leaf covered Trump subsidiary.' Calling on career DOJ employees to hold the line, he added, 'Our best hope is that good people will stay. You may get fired for acting that way, but there's honor in that and nothing but disgrace for those who don't stand up. There are going to be hard weeks in the Trump era and this was one for my family. But there are plenty of good people still in the department committed to doing things the right way, committed to the rule of law. For them, because of them, keep the faith.'

Her dismissal comes as the Justice Department faces scrutiny over its decision to close parts of the Epstein investigation. Comey had led several significant prosecutions, including the conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell on sex trafficking charges and, more recently, a high-profile case involving music mogul Diddy Combs.
