Former FBI Director James Comey issued his first public statement since his daughter Maurene Comey was fired from the Department of Justice earlier this month. Comey recorded a video statement on his Substack on Sunday.

Maurene Comey, a prosecutor who handled high-profile Diddy and Epstein cases, was fired by the Justice Department, and legal analysts offer divided opinions.

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