Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor and the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, told her former colleagues in an email that her sudden firing should “fuel the fire” of their work fighting abuses of power.

US President Donald Trump late Thursday directed the Justice Department to provide "any and all" information about the disgraced sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 awaiting trial on federal charges of trafficking of underage girls.

Trump continues to face backlash from his MAGA supporters over his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. He's called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to release "whatever she thinks is credible," while saying he doesn't understand the interest in the case, calling it "sordid" but "boring."

This new front in the Trump/Comey feud is the latest dramatic twist in the politically charged story of the former FBI director, whose choices even before Trump stormed onto the scene meant he was sucked into toxic politics in a way that is unusual for a modern incumbent of his former job.
