FBI Director Faces Trial Over Beach Post
from San Antonio News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Former FBI Director James Comey is facing federal trial over an Instagram post he made last May — a photo of seashells spelling “eighty-six forty-seven,” captioned “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.” Though Comey claims he saw it as a political message, not a threat, President Trump interpreted it as an assassination attempt, leading to charges of transmitting a threat across state lines. The trial, originally scheduled for July 15, has been delayed to October 21 after Comey’s team requested more evidence from the government. He must appear in court in New Bern, North Carolina, on September 30 for arraignment. This isn’t his first legal trouble — a prior false statements charge was dismissed due to prosecutorial misconduct. The case hinges on whether the post was truly threatening — and whether justice will be served or just chaos. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
