The new indictment involves allegations that Comey made threats against President Donald Trump in a May 2025 social media posting of a picture of shells on the beach that spelled out “8647,” a source familiar with the matter told MS NOW.
The number 86 is a slang term whose definitions include “to reject” or “to get rid of,” according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, which also notes that it has more recently been used as a term meaning “to kill.” And Trump is the 47th U.S. president.
