Justice Department prosecutes former officials under Trump's second term

Force in Play

Removed from office after first Comey case dismissed

James Comey deleted an Instagram post within hours—a fifteen-character image of '8647' written above seashells. A North Carolina grand jury charged him with two counts of threatening the President over that same image. The April 28, 2026 indictment is the second federal case Trump's Justice Department brought against the former FBI Director; a Virginia case filed in September 2025 was dismissed when a judge ruled the interim prosecutor unlawfully appointed. Judge Louise Wood Flanagan issued an arrest warrant, though Comey may self-surrender, and he responded on Substack: 'I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid.'
