Trump to receive ‘Patriot of the Year’ award

A lead prosecutor in the sex trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell has joined the prosecutorial team in the criminal case against Sean Combs. 

Maurene Ryan Comey — the daughter of former FBI director James Comey — filed paperwork in the Southern District of New York on Monday, notifying the court that she is now part of the team leveling sex trafficking and racketeering charges against the Bad Boy Entertainment founder. 

Comey’s addition to the SDNY team is significant, as she was one of the three lead prosecutors in the government’s case against Maxwell, which saw Jeffrey Epstein’s “madam” convicted in Dec. 2021 of sex trafficking minors. The British socialite is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence. (Epstein was facing similar charges before he killed himself in August 2019 while awaiting trial.)

A state of semi-chaos has erupted in recent days as discovery is set to conclude in a lawsuit filed by police officers and members of Congress in response to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol Complex.

At the center of the procedural storm is President-elect Donald Trump’s former deputy chief of staff and campaign social media director Dan Scavino — and his long-sought-after deposition.

Now, that deposition is scheduled to occur on Tuesday — and a recent court order suggests that a last-minute bid to delay went nowhere.

In the case, Trump’s attorneys were the first to push for Scavino to be deposed. In a September subpoena, the deposition was originally scheduled to occur on Oct. 21, or at an agreed upon time.

Then, the plaintiffs got involved.

In the underlying case, Trump and others are accused of having “conspired to incite an assembled crowd to march upon and enter” the national legislative seat of government that fateful day. The lawsuit is premised on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, a federal law barring mob violence directed at federal officials.
