Maurene Comey, the lead federal prosecutor at Sean “Diddy” Combs sex-trafficking trial, is suing the Trump administration over her “unlawful and unconstitutional” firing in July.

Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James B. Comey, says she was terminated shortly after the Diddy verdict as political payback because her a father is one of President Donald Trump’s most famous foes.

“The politically motivated termination of Ms. Comey … upends bedrock principles of our democracy and justice system,” her lawyers write. “Assistant United States Attorneys like Ms. Comey must do their jobs without fearing or favoring any political party or perspective.”
