- James Comey, former FBI Director, charged for threatening President Trump's life via an Instagram post with seashells forming numbers '86 47'.
- Comey denies knowledge of the numbers' meaning, while Trump administration views it as a threat; charges include threatening the president and interstate threat transmission.
- Legal experts criticize the indictment as insubstantial, citing First Amendment protection and political motivations, with this being the second dismissed case against Comey.
- Comey's daughter, Maurene Comey, can proceed with a case challenging her firing by the Trump administration, as ruled separately.
