Former FBI director James Comey faced backlash after sharing an Instagram photo of seashells forming the numbers “86 47,” which critics interpreted as a call for violence against President Trump. Comey denied any violent intent, stating he opposes violence and subsequently deleted the post, but investigations by the Homeland Security Department and Secret Service were launched amid claims from Trump supporters that it implied assassination. Trump’s allies, including Donald Trump Jr. and Congressman Andy Ogles, called for accountability, with Ogles suggesting Comey could face legal repercussions for the post.
