Investigators in Comey seashells case omitted key facts and distorted others, defense lawyers allege
Defense lawyers for James Comey allege federal officials misled judges, submitted false statements, and withheld key facts during his prosecution for a social media post. The case centers on a seashell photo with numbers '86 47,' which the Justice Department claims constitutes a threat against President Donald Trump, while Comey's team argues it is protected speech and part of a retribution campaign.
