President Donald Trump has dragged former FBI director James Comey into the long-running saga over the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, suggesting graffiti at the site was “probably” inspired by his old enemy.
Trump’s Department of Justice has brought felony charges against Comey after he posted a seemingly-innocuous image on Instagram last year of seashells on a beach arranged to spell out the numbers “86 47,” which the president claimed was a coded call for his assassination – to “86,” or kill, the 47th commander-in-chief.
