It's April 30th. This is U.S. News Today, your AI-powered source for National News. President Trump is calling out former FBI director James Comey as a dirty cop after the Department of Justice hit him with a two-count indictment over. In Instagram post, Trump claims the post was straight up an assassination threat, pointing to the numbers 86 as a mob code for kill him. Trump doubled down on true social, and even in the Oval Office chat with reporters, saying he has seen it in movies where mobsters use that term too. Mean take someone out. He suggested Comey and folks like him are stirring up real danger for politicians. Comey deleted the post quick after a blew up, explaining he found some seashells and did not know people linked those numbers to violence. He opposes any kind of violence and made his first court appearance Wednesday in Virginia. Legal experts are saying this case faces big first amendment roadblocks since free speech protects a lot, unless it is a true threat. Professor Jonathan Turley called it troubling, even as a Comey critic, predicting it will
not hold up in court. Comey is staying bold in a video response, saying he is innocent, not scared, and trust the federal courts to sort it out fair.
