James Comey gets indicted (again)
Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on federal charges related to a 2025 social media post interpreted as a threat against Donald Trump, marking the second time he has faced indictment under the Trump administration. The post featured seashells arranged to spell '86 47,' which prosecutors claim was a coded call to harm Trump, the 47th president. The charges are widely seen as politically motivated, echoing a previous failed indictment. The move follows Trump's replacement of Attorney General Pam Bondi with Todd Blanche, a former personal lawyer, who is now pursuing cases against Trump's perceived adversaries.
