'No serious dispute' that Comey's seashell post could be read as a Trump threat, prosecutors say
The Justice Department is defending its prosecution of James Comey, asserting that his social media post featuring seashells could be interpreted as a threat against President Donald Trump. Prosecutors also questioned Comey's explanation regarding the number arrangement and suggested his Instagram post was an attempt to sell copies of a forthcoming novel. Meanwhile, Comey’s lawyers contend that investigators misled judges and failed to prove he intended a physical threat.
