For the Second Time: Government Files Charges Against Former FBI Director Comey
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
WASHINGTON — Former FBI Director James Comey was charged on Tuesday in connection with an investigation involving a photograph posted on social media. The image depicted seashells arranged on a beach, which authorities claim represented a threat against President Donald Trump, according to a person familiar with the matter. The individual, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the issue, confirmed the charges to The Associated Press under the condition of anonymity. The specific charge or charges against Comey were not immediately disclosed. This marks the second criminal case the Department of Justice has initiated against Trump’s former adversary. Comey stated that he believed the arrangement of the shells—which he noticed during a walk and formed the inscription '86 47'—was a political message rather than a call to violence.
