The Trump administration announced an investigation into former FBI director James B. Comey after he shared an Instagram post featuring seashells that spelled out "86 47," which some interpreted as a threat against President Trump. Comey insisted he was simply commenting on a shell formation and not advocating violence. In response, Trump stated that Comey should have understood the implications of the post, while others, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem, echoed calls for serious consequences, with accusations of a hit being placed on Trump.
Comey wrote that he assumed the shells he saw "were a political message" but said he was not advocating violence.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem accused Comey of calling for Trump's assassination, stating that her department and the Secret Service were "investigating this threat and will respond appropriately."
