Former FBI Director James Comey, who investigated possible ties between the 45th and 47th US President Donald Trump and Russia during the 2016 election campaign, was charged with threatening the head of state. AP reported this on April 28.
We are talking about a photo of shells laid out in the form of the numbers “86 47”, which Komi published a year ago.
In May 2025, he said that he was questioned by the US Secret Service about this matter. The Merriam-Webster dictionary explains that 86 is slang for “getting rid of someone,” and the number 47 may refer to Trump as the 47th president of the United States.
The AP notes that this is the second case against Comey in recent months.
“The fact that the Justice Department has opened a new case against the former FBI director months after dismissing another related indictment could raise concerns about the government's prosecution of Trump opponents,” the agency said.
