Former FBI Director James Comey was interviewed by US Secret Service agents regarding a social media post that was perceived as a threat against President Trump. The post featured shells on a beach spelling out '86 47', a code interpreted as calling for Trump's removal from office. Comey claimed he didn't intend the post as a threat and removed it upon realizing its potential interpretation. The Secret Service is investigating, but legal experts say prosecuting Comey may be challenging due to recent Supreme Court decisions on free speech and threats.

The Trump administration is investigating James Comey, the former F.B.I. director, for a social media post that officials claim was a call for President Trump's assassination. Comey's Instagram post showed seashells forming the numbers '86 47', a phrase used by critics of Trump. Comey later removed the post and said it was not meant to be violent. Trump administration officials, including Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, denounced Comey's post and called for him to be held accountable.
