Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on charges related to a social media post featuring seashells arranged on a beach. Officials said the post constituted a threat against President Donald Trump. The indictment was secured by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, a Trump loyalist. Comey shared a photo of seashells on Instagram in May, arranged in the numbers "86 47". He deleted the post shortly after, stating he opposed violence and didn't realize the numbers were associated with it. The Justice Department charged Comey with making a threat to "take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon" Trump and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce. The case was filed in the Eastern District of North Carolina.
