Moreover, it is crucial to note that these women are all white, as reported by TMZ. Meanwhile, since we are discussing the team of prosecutors, it is led by the daughter of former FBI director James Comey.

Maurene Ryan Comey will be leading the legal team of prosecutors seeking a conviction against Bad Boy Records founder Sean Diddy Combs in his upcoming trial. She will head the team of US attorneys from the prestigious Southern District of New York when jury selection begins next week in Sean Diddy Combs’ sex trafficking trial.

Maurene’s father, James Comey, was a well-known FBI director who played a controversial role in the 2016 presidential election. James Comey was fired by President Donald Trump just a few months after Trump took office during his first term.
