The Justice Department issued an arrest warrant for former FBI Director James Comey on Tuesday, claiming in a new indictment that the staunch Donald Trump critic made a threat against the president — albeit one written in sand using seashells.
The matter stems from a photo he posted to social media of seashells arranged on a North Carolina beach to read, “86 47,” the first numbers indicating a slang term for getting rid of someone or something and the second presumed to be a reference to Trump, who became the 47th president of the United States in his second term.
