Pam Bondi fires US prosecutor who put Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell behind bars
Pam Bondi has fired the US prosecutor who put Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell behind bars – and somehow bungled the case against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI chief James Comey, was dismissed from her role as a prosecutor in the Manhattan US attorney’s office on Wednesday.
Comey worked on the cases against both Epstein and Maxwell, helping to send Maxwell to prison for 20 years after the billionaire financier killed himself in his cell while awaiting trial.
However, more recently, she suffered a catastrophic loss in the trial of the sex-crazed music mogul.
Bondi has faced calls to resign after failing to deliver on President Trump’s campaign promise to reveal Epstein’s ‘client list’ and disclose the true nature of the billionaire’s death inside the Metropolitan Detention Facility.
MAGA loyalists have theorized that Epstein was murdered, rather than killed himself, and that a purported client list would unravel a web of crime at the very top of high society.
Bondi, after initially claiming the client list was ‘on her desk for review,’ now insists there is no list, and maintains that he did kill himself.
It is unclear why Maurene Comey was axed after nearly a decade of service. The DailyMail.com has reached out to the Department of Justice for comment.

Maurene Comey was the prosecutor in the 2019 Epstein case, the Ghislaine Maxwell case and the Diddy case.
According to previous reporting by the Washington Post, Maurene Comey was listed as one of the prosecutors who was involved in the ‘deleted’ Epstein prison footage.
Prosecutors in the SDNY rallied around Maurene Comey and escorted her out of the office on Wednesday evening.

Rand Paul says the best way to ‘test’ the Biden autopen pardon is to indict Fauci…
Let him try to use that shady pardon. Then fight it out in court.
It’s been a long time coming, hasn’t it? The idea of Anthony Fauci actually facing justice for everything he did—lying to Congress, covering up the origins of COVID, pushing lockdowns and mandates while he played both sides, and the vaccine lies—has felt almost impossible in this upside-down country where elites seem to get away with murder.
But Senator Rand Paul has never given up on taking Fauci down. And now, with the whole “autopen pardon” scandal blowing up, and Fauci being at the very center of that, Rand just laid out a simple plan to put it all on the table and test those flimsy pardons: Indict Fauci.
Let him try to use that shady pardon. Then fight it out in court.
Pretty smart, right?
In a video clip blowing up on social media, Paul demands that Fauci be held accountable for the devastating lies he told during the COVID pandemic. Especially surrounding the gain-of-function research and the origins of the so-called deadly virus (with over a 90 percent survival rate).
But there’s more at stake here than just one man’s lies. This is about the entire Dem-led weaponization of a pandemic that was used to reset, censor, control, and crush the American people and hijack a US election.
Revolver recently reported that the autopen scandal is back on the front burner. And as you likely know, Fauci was one of the key regime loyalists who scored one of those sketchy, late-night preemptive pardons. Supposedly, it was approved by Joe Biden himself… a man who, let’s be honest, didn’t even seem fully aware he was alive half the time. But then an explosive New York Times report blew that lie wide open. Turns out, it wasn’t Biden signing those flimsy pardons at all; it was his staff, using an autopen.
These “preemptive pardons” raised a lot of eyebrows from the start. They were issued in the dead of night, under a cloud of suspicion, and signed not by Biden himself but by a machine. Now, America is asking: Are these pardons even legal?
And even more importantly: Who was actually making these pardons?
As the outrage builds, Congressman James Comer is leading the charge to find the truth:
🚨UPDATE🚨
As we aggressively investigate the cover-up of Joe Biden’s decline and the unauthorized use of the autopen, I’m now demanding more former Biden staffers come before Congress:
Karine Jean-Pierre
Ian Sams
Andrew Bates
Jeff ZientsAmericans deserve answers.
And now, reports have surfaced that Jeff Zients, Biden’s Chief of Staff, was the one who personally approved the use of the autopen to sign pardons for some of the most controversial political actors in modern history.
Who else gets pardoned before they’ve even been charged with anything? Only the dirty, dank DC Swamp…
But Rand’s idea seems logical: indict Fauci, let him pull out that goofy autopen pardon, and then let the courts decide if it holds water. And that might be a very big ask, because Revolver also pointed out that Biden’s doctor is now pleading the 5th all over God’s green earth.
So, you can see how easy it could be to blow the entire “autopen pardon” scam wide open and expose just how far the Biden regime went to protect their top criminal cronies.
And remember, this isn’t just about Fauci. It’s about setting the precedent that weaponizing a virus, gaslighting a nation, and then papering it all over with a shady signature machine isn’t how justice works in America.
Senator Paul is right.
It’s go time.

Cops seize 21 kids — including 17 toddlers — from California couple who had them all via surrogacy: ‘Smells of trafficking’ and Birth Citizenship run amok?
Guojun Xuan, 65, and Silvia Zhang, 38, were recently found with 21children in their Arcadia mansion some with evidence of abuse
Twenty-one little kids have been rescued from a California couple who allegedly farmed out their fertilized embryos to multiple surrogate mothers, and then hoarded the children inside a massive mansion — where they suffered repeated abuse, cops say.
Guojun Xuan, 65, and Silvia Zhang, 38, were recently found with 15 children in their Arcadia mansion. Another six of their kids had previously been moved out to other homes, WWNY 7News reported.
Xuan and Zhang own a surrogacy business, but cops say they were allegedly abusing the surrogacy program.
Seventeen of the kids are toddlers or infants, under three years old. The oldest is 13.
All 21 children have been taken in by the Department of Children and Family Services.
Zhang and Xuan have been charged with felony child endangerment and neglect. It was not immediately clear if further charges would be mounted against them for their deceptive arrangements with the surrogates.
Police found the youngsters while investigating complaints of a two-month-old who was brought to the hospital with a traumatic brain injury.
Cops believe the baby was injured by the family’s nanny, 56-year-old Chunmei Li, who is accused of committing alarming abuse.
Cops reviewed surveillance footage from inside the home, allegedly showing Li shaking and hitting the infant. The video also showed other nannies allegedly abusing all of the children, cops said.
“The discipline, both verbal and physical, was severe to the point where it supported the beliefs that child abuse was occurring inside the home,” said Arcadia police Lt. Kollin Cieadlo.
Officials believe all of the children are the biological offspring of husband and wife Xuan and Zhang, and were primarily birthed through multiple women hired through their own surrogacy business.
But the surrogates — hired from around the country — weren’t aware they were carrying the couple’s embryos and that there were multiple other surrogates, according to police.
“Many of the children were birthed through surrogacy and then the male and female at the residence took legal guardianship of those kids,” Cieadlo said.
One of those surrogate mothers said she had no idea Zhang and Xuan were keeping the kids for themselves.
“It’s horrific, it’s disturbing, it’s damaging emotionally,” Pennsylvania surrogate mother Kayla Elliot told KABC.
Elliot has launched a fundraiser page to cover legal costs as she fights to get the baby girl she carried for the couple placed in a permanent home after she discovered the child ended up in foster care.
“These agencies, we’re supposed to trust them and follow their guidance and come to find out this whole thing was a scam, and the parents own the agency – that was not disclosed at all beforehand,” she added
