Comey Hit With New Indictment Over Seashell Post Allegedly Threatening Trump

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted for a second time by the U.S. Justice Department in the Eastern District of North Carolina, charged with making threats against President Trump and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce over a 2025 social-media post that showed seashells arranged to spell “86 47.” Prosecutors say the display would be interpreted as a serious threat; Comey denies the charges and says he will contest them in court. The indictment follows a previously dismissed case over past congressional testimony.
