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

Comey is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, who led SDNY from 2002 to 2003. Trump fired James Comey in May 2017 over his handling of the inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s emails, but Democrats have said the move was a result of the FBI investigating alleged links between the Trump campaign and Russia.

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