James Comey, ex-FBI director, to be interviewed by US Secret Service

SUMMARY

Former FBI Director James Comey will be interviewed by the US Secret Service regarding a controversial Instagram post. The post featured beach shells arranged to spell out "86 47," which some interpret as a call to remove Trump from office. Comey is not in custody and is cooperating voluntarily.

He stated he did not mean to imply violence and removed the post after realizing its implications. The Secret Service treats such communications seriously, and their spokesman emphasized they investigate potential threats against protectees. Experts suggest prosecuting Comey may be difficult, citing recent Supreme Court rulings on free speech.
