Comey had a major law career with Combs being just one of a trio of high-profile cases she faced.
She also prosecuted convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
The veteran lawyer in the Southern District of New York, was often considered to be among the state’s most elite prosecutors.
Both law enforcement and Department of Justice sources confirmed Comey’s firing.
It comes amid the Trump administration cracking down on Justice Department lawyers.
Comey’s father James has had a particularly frosty relationship with the US President in recent years.
James Comey was the FBI director when Trump first took to office in 2017.
But controversy struck early on during Trump’s first White House stint as Comey refused to pledge his loyalty to the President at a private dinner.
Just a few months later, Comey was fired amid an investigation into potential links between Russia and Trump’s presidential campaign.
