Trump just fired the Epstein prosecutor

The claim that "Trump just fired the Epstein prosecutor" can be broken down into two main components: first, that a prosecutor involved in the Epstein case was fired, and second, that Donald Trump was responsible for this firing. Multiple credible sources confirm that Maurene Comey, a federal prosecutor who worked on criminal cases involving Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, was indeed fired from her position at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.nytimes.comnytimes.comManhattan Prosecutor Who Handled Epstein Cases Is Firedaxios.comaxios.comReports: Maurene Comey, the Manhattan prosecutor who handled the Epstein case,...forbes.comforbes.comMaurene Comey—Epstein Prosecutor And Daughter Of James Comey—Fired From Justice...en.wikipedia.orgen.wikipedia.orgAlexander Acosta

Maurene Comey is also noted as the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey. However, while these reports confirm her firing and her role in Epstein-related prosecutions, none of the sources provide direct evidence or official statements explicitly attributing the firing decision to Donald Trump himself. The timing and political context suggest it occurred under the Trump administration, but it is unclear if Trump personally ordered or influenced this personnel decision.

Additionally, other prosecutors connected to Epstein cases, such as Alexander Acosta who was Labor Secretary under Trump, resigned in 2019 amid Epstein-related controversy but were not fired by Trump.deadline.comdeadline.comJeffrey Epstein Top Prosecutor Fired By Trump; Maurene Comey Also Led Diddy Case Therefore, while it is accurate that an Epstein prosecutor was fired during Trump's presidency, attributing the firing directly to Trump without explicit confirmation is not fully supported by available evidence.

This nuance leads to a verdict of Mostly True rather than True or False.
