Comey's discharge: Trump and the secret Epstein files shake the USA!
On July 17, 2025, Maurene Comey, a prominent prosecutor of the US Ministry of Justice, was released. This decision is directly related to the Epstein scandal and the activities of the Trump government. The Ministry of Justice has so far not been given official information on the reasons for their release. Comey had a key role in the investigation against Jeffrey Epstein, which was imprisoned due to the systematic abuse of minors and committed suicide in 2019. She was also largely responsible for the indictment of Ghislaine Maxwell, which was convicted of sexual offenses. Before her release, Comey also headed the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs for human trafficking and prostitution.
Jeffrey Epstein, who was involved in the districts of the American elite, leaves a legacy full of speculation after his death. Among other things, there are demonstrable contacts between Donald Trump and Epstein. A few years ago, Trump even described Epstein in interviews as "great types". During his election campaign, Trump promised to disclose the Epstein files, but later deviated from this project and explained that there was no customer list. This turn led to protests and criticism in the Republican basis. The dismissal of Comey has further fueled the speculation about Trump's possible involvement in this matter.
Trump's conflicts and criticism
US President Donald Trump not only devalued the discussion about the Epstein files as a "Jeffrey Epstein swindling" of the Democrats, but also encouraged his supporters to avert from this topic. He questioned the seriousness of the files and claimed that these had been "invented" by Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
Mike Johnson, the spokesman for the US House of Representatives, has demanded the publication of the files and pronounced for more transparency. This was particularly important because Epstein was found dead in his cell in August 2019, with the official report of suicide as a cause of death. Epstein was accused of having brought sexual abuse and celebrities to young girls and women. Despite these serious allegations, the FBI and Trump's Minister of Justice Pam Bondi and FBI boss Kash Patel question the existence of a secret customer list.
The role of Maurene Comey
The release of Maurene Comey is not only another incident in the context of the Epstein scandal, but also has personal dimensions. She is the daughter of James Comey, who was released as a FBI director in 2017, while at that time it was investigated against the connections between Trump's campaign team and Russia.
In view of the dramatic developments in this case, many observers are challenged to evaluate the effects efficiently, both on the legal handling of the Epstein and the political landscape in which Trump continues to polarize. These events not only raise questions about individual responsibility, but also to the deeper structures within the political and legal systems of the United States.
