Big right-wing influencer appears in lawsuit against Trump’s ‘illegal’ firing



Federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI director James, has named right-wing influencer and so-called "Trump Whisperer" Laura Loomer in a lawsuit contesting her abrupt firing, for which "The Justice Department gave no reason," reports The New York Times.

Comey, who was working on cases involving Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Sean "Diddy" Combs when she was fired from the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York in July, "calls her firing ... illegal," the Times reports.

The lawsuit, in which Comey seeks her job, back pay and legal fees, names several defendants, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, the Office of the President and Loomer. Loomer called for Comey's firing via a successful social media campaign.

After Comey was let go, Loomer took a victory lap for what she deemed "a pressure campaign."

“This comes 2 months after my pressure campaign on Pam Blondi to fire Comey’s daughter and Comey’s son-in-law from the DOJ,” Loomer boasted in a X post, referring to Bondi.

On Monday, Will Sommer, senior reporter at The Bulwark, posted on X, "One NSC official stood between what appears to be a wildly corrupt deal involving the UAE, AI chips, and China. Then Laura Loomer intervened and got him fired. (She says it had nothing to do with the chip deal)."

“Laura is more trouble than she’s worth,” a White House official told The Free Press in July.

In the lawsuit, Comey said that the U.S. attorney, Jay Clayton, was unable to provide her with a reason for her termination.

“All I can say is it came from Washington,” Clayton told her, according to the lawsuit. “I can’t tell you anything else.”
