Donald Trump targeted in cryptic post by former FBI director James Comey under investigation
ai generated text
A federal investigation has been launched against James Comey due to a controversial Instagram post where he shared a photo of seashells arranged to form the numbers "8647". Critics argue that the numbers represent a veiled threat against President Donald Trump. However, there is debate over the interpretation of the numbers, with some believing it to be a reference to a slang term used in restaurants to mean getting rid of something, and not a threat. Comey later deleted the post, stating he was unaware of the potential meaning behind it.
The Secret Service vigorously investigates anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees. We take this responsibility very seriously.
I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.
We, the FBI, will provide all necessary support.
We are aware of the recent social media post by former FBI director James Comey, directed at President Trump.
We are in communication with the Secret Service and Director (Sean) Curran. Primary jurisdiction is with SS on these matters and we, the FBI, will provide all necessary support.
Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey just called for the assassination of @POTUS Trump.
DHS and Secret Service is investigating this threat and will respond appropriately.
While President Trump is currently on an international trip to the Middle East, the former FBI director puts out what can clearly be interpreted as 'a hit' on the sitting president of the United States — a message etched in the sand. This is deeply concerning to all of us and is being taken seriously.
