UPDATE: Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on charges alleging he threatened President Donald Trump when he posted an image of seashells spelling out “8647” on his Instagram account last year, according to reports.
Comey captioned the image, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.”
Critics interpreted the message as a reference to removing or killing Trump. In slang, “86” can mean to get rid of or throw something out, while Trump is currently the 47th president.

The specific charges, which have yet to be made public, mark the second time that Comey has been indicted in a federal case since Trump’s second presidential term began.
