Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former personal lawyer for Donald Trump, announced a new federal indictment against former FBI director James Comey for a 2022 Instagram post showing a seashell formation that read “86 47,” which critics interpreted as a threat to the president; the grand jury charged Comey with making a threat against the president’s life and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce, each carrying up to ten years in prison. Blanche, who has taken the temporary role after Trump dismissed AG Pam Bondi, appears eager to cement his position by pursuing high‑profile cases, and framed the indictment as a necessary response to dangerous threats.

A federal judge in New York rejected the Justice Department’s attempt to transfer Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey’s wrongful‑termination lawsuit out of court, keeping the case before him because her dismissal was carried out under the President’s Article II executive authority rather than standard civil‑service procedures. Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, left the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York last year and has sued the DOJ, alleging she was fired arbitrarily because of her father’s prominence and perceived political affiliations. The department argued the dispute should be heard by the Merit Systems Protection Board, but the judge noted that Comey was a career prosecutor who handled high‑profile cases—including those against Sean “Diddy” Combs, Robert Hadden, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell—and was terminated with a single reason: the President’s constitutional power to remove federal employees.

Comey, the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, alleges she was removed because of the president’s animus toward her father and is seeking reinstatement and back pay.
