From NPR.

Former FBI Director James Comey says he’s innocent of a new federal indictment charging him with making a threat against President Trump.

The indictment marks the second time Trump’s Justice Department has tried to pursue a criminal case against Comey. A judge in Virginia threw out the first case because the prosecutor there was not legally appointed. Now, the DOJ is accusing Comey, a longtime critic of the president, of threatening the 47th president — apparently referring to an incident last year when Comey posted a photo of the numbers 86-47 in seashells. Comey later deleted the post and said he didn’t know the slang term 86 could be considered a threat.
