Maxwell was convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison, a conviction she has since appealed. More recently, Comey served as a prosecutor in the case against Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comey and her team faced a partial setback in the Combs case, with the jury acquitting the performer on more serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. However, Combs was found guilty on two counts of violating the Mann Act, which prohibits transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dismissal of Maurene Comey comes amid renewed scrutiny of her father, former FBI Director James Comey.
