Former FBI director James Comey is asking a federal judge to throw out felony charges accusing him of threatening Donald Trump’s life by posting a photograph of seashells spelling out “86 47.”
The post from one of Trump’s most prominent critics did not constitute what the Department of Justice is calling a “true threat” after federal prosecutors claimed “86” amounted to calls for the assassination of the 47th president, according to Comey’s legal team.
