This is plausible.
Is James Comey's Daughter Behind the FBI’s Delay in Releasing Epstein Files?Maurene Comey previously worked as the lead prosecutor on both the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases. She also worked on the case involving former Epstein cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione.
Fox News anchor Jesse Watters suggested that Maurene Comey, an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York, might have played a role in the FBI's failure to release the top-secret documents. According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the FBI Field Office in Manhattan had never disclosed the existence of "thousands of documents” related to Epstein.
“Epstein was facing sex trafficking charges in lower Manhattan, where's all that paperwork?' Watters asked.
He also pointed to the FBI's seizure of banking records and files from several of Epstein's properties, the Department of Justice's controversial non-prosecution agreement in 2008, and the Bureau of Prisons' files regarding Epstein’s time at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.
During his campaign, President Donald Trump repeatedly promised to release classified documents related to Epstein. Essentially, the FBI knew that the day would come when they would be forced to sever ties with those files.
