A stunning new report charges that Maureen Comey, a former federal prosecutor and daughter of the infamous ex-FBI chief James Comey, now under indictment for lying to Congress, once promised convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that he would walk away from pending charges if he would implicate President Donald Trump in crimes.
It happened during Trump's first term, when Maureen Comey still was a federal prosecutor for the Department of Justice, a job she no longer holds.
Her father, of course, was one of the schemers behind the Democrats' years-long lawfare against President Trump, with roles in various cases created by Democrats to try to bring down the Republican candidate, then president.
A report from the New York Post explained the testimony is from Nicholas Tartaglione, an ex-cop who was a cellmate with Epstein for a time.
He was awaiting trial, where he eventually was convicted, in a murder case.
Tartaglione, 57, alleges Epstein told him that prosecutors had offered to give him a deal if he'd "snitch" on Trump, the report charged.
The conversations apparently happened at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where both men were held for a time.
"Prosecutors … told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Esptein's crimes he would walk free. in a petition to be pardoned," Tartaglione charges in a pardon application filed in July and obtained by The Post.
The filing continues, "Epstein told me that [lead prosecutor] Maurene Comey said that he didn't have to prove anything, as long as President Trump's people could not disprove it. According to Maurene Comey, the FBI were 'her people, not his [President Trump's].'"
There's no specificity on what "crimes" that Tartaglione would cite against Trump.
"At the time of his death, Epstein was charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy, but was also suspected in a laundry list of other crimes — from financial misdealing to money laundering and blackmail. Comey, who acted as lead prosecutor in Tartaglione's case, was fired by the Justice Department in July," the report said.
The report also notes that Tartaglione said Epstein told him Trump "was not involved" in Epstein's crimes.
