Epstein Files Update: Comey Firing Coincides with Trump's Hoax Claims

Exploring Potential Connections in Ongoing Controversy

An update to:

President Trump's recent statements have amplified the suspicions raised in my original analysis, directly accusing a network including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and the Biden administration of fabricating Epstein files as a political weapon—much like the discredited Russia, Russia, Russia hoax detailed in the March 2025 declassifications. In a July 16 press interaction, President Trump stated, "That was run by the Biden administration for four years. I can imagine what they've put into files," implying alterations during the previous term or earlier. He further dismissed the controversy as a "Democrat hoax," criticizing some MAGA supporters demanding full release as "stupid people" falling for "bullshit," while urging the FBI to investigate the "Jeffrey Epstein hoax" alongside other probes.

These remarks align with my original article's timeline logic: genuine damaging material would have surfaced in the 2024 election, suggesting post-victory fabrication during the Biden transition—a period already warned about by Senator Josh Hawley for potential evidence tampering.

The most striking development came on July 16—the same day as President Trump's most explicit hoax comments—when the DOJ fired Maurene Comey, lead prosecutor in the Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Sean "Diddy" Combs cases. No specific reason was provided, with a memo citing only the president's Article II authority. This timing exposes a pattern of coincidences that strain credibility and suggests the Comey family's central role in both concealing and fabricating evidence surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's case.

In a farewell letter to colleagues, Maurene Comey wrote, "If a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain. Do not let that happen. Fear is the tool of a tyrant." This dismissal, amid President Trump's naming of her father in the fabrication claims, has fueled discussions about suspicious coincidences, including assertions that she reviewed Epstein's 2019 jail suicide footage—officially lost due to technical errors.

Is it coincidence that James Comey's daughter was positioned to oversee critical aspects of the most politically sensitive case of the decade? Or that her dismissal came on the same day President Trump explicitly accused her father of manufacturing evidence? The strategic placement suggests deliberate family control over the narrative around Epstein's death and subsequent investigation.

The firing builds on our original article's scrutiny of the Comey family's Epstein ties, exposing deeper network protections. With Maurene's role in high-profile cases yielding mixed results—Maxwell convicted but Diddy acquitted on major charges—evidence suggests her oversight limited exposures rather than pursued them aggressively. Social media discussions have amplified the controversy, fueling speculation about compartmentalized evidence and family control over the most sensitive prosecutions.
