Trump Calls James Comey 'Dirty Cop' As Former FBI Director Surrenders

President Donald Trump has called former FBI Director James Comey a "dirty cop" as he faces charges over an Instagram post from last year.

Comey was indicted in North Carolina this week and surrendered to the authorities on Wednesday over a photo he posted last year of seashells laid out to read "86 47," which the Justice Department alleges was intended as a threat against Trump.

Comey later removed the Instagram post, saying he had not considered that it might be seen as promoting violence. The phrase "eighty-six" is commonly used in the hospitality industry to indicate that an item is no longer available, and more broadly can mean to cancel or get rid of something.
