Donald Trump‘s Justice Department has indicted ex-FBI boss James Comey again regarding an Instagram post.
The Daily Mail has learned the new indictment relates to an Instagram post Comey made last May featuring seashells arranged to spell out ‘8647’, a phrase adopted by Trump’s critics that the president and his allies have characterized as a call for his assassination.
The number 86 refers to removing or tossing something out. Trump is currently the 47th President. Comey posted the photo of the shells with the caption: ‘Cool shell formation on my beach walk.’
Trump’s allies claimed the post called ‘for the assassination’ of the Trump. At the time, then-Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem said Secret Service would investigate the former FBI director.
Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia last fall on two counts: making a false statement to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding, related to his 2020 Senate Judiciary Committee testimony.
A federal judge dismissed the indictment in November, ruling that the prosecutor who brought the case, Lindsey Halligan, had been unlawfully appointed.
