James Comey indicted for alleged threats against Trump: DOJ

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted for a second time by the Justice Department (DOJ), multiple sources told Fox News. The charges appear to be related to a May 2025 Instagram photo of an "86 47" shell formation on a beach.

Comey is charged with "knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the life of, or inflict bodily harm upon, the President of the United States and knowingly and willfully transmitting a communication in interstate and foreign commerce that contained a threat to kill President Donald Trump," according to the indictment.

Both charges, released Tuesday by the DOJ, carry up to 10 years in prison. The move follows a wave of criticism from Republicans and Trump administration officials who viewed Comey's post as a veiled threat.
