Comey Indicted Again Over Beach Photo Trump Deemed Threat

The US Justice Department has charged former FBI Director James Comey for a second time, this time claiming a photograph he posted on Instagram of shells arranged on a beach constituted intent to harm President Trump. The indictment follows years of Trump publicly demanding Comey's prosecution and appears to rest on the numeric interpretation of the shell arrangement — a reading Comey's supporters have called absurd. Comey previously led the FBI investigation into Trump's 2016 campaign.
