Former FBI Director James Comey released a video statement on Substack Tuesday defending himself after a federal grand jury indicted him for a second time over an Instagram post prosecutors say threatened President Donald Trump. In the video, Comey opened by saying, “Well, they’re back – this time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago, and this won’t be the end of it,” before insisting that “nothing has changed with me.”
He reiterated, “I’m still innocent, I’m still not afraid, and I still believe in the independent federal judiciary, so let’s go,” casting the new case as a test of judicial independence rather than his own conduct.
The indictment charges Comey with two felony counts for allegedly using a 2025 Instagram photo of seashells arranged as the numbers “86 47” to convey a threat to “take the life of, and inflict bodily harm upon,” the president and to transmit that threat in interstate commerce.
