FBI Director James Comey Indicted Over Alleged Threat on Instagram

The US Department of Justice has charged former FBI Director James Comey with making a threat against President Donald Trump on Instagram, citing a deleted post that featured an arrangement of seashells spelling out the number “8647”. According to the indictment, filed in North Carolina federal court, the image was interpreted by some as a serious expression of intent to cause harm. The DOJ claims that Comey’s actions constitute an obstruction of justice offense, and this latest indictment marks another escalation in the ongoing saga surrounding Trump-Comey tensions.
