Comey asks judge to dismiss Trump 'seashells' case citing lack of 'true threat'

Ex-FBI Director James Comey filed a motion asking a judge to dismiss charges against him, arguing that an Instagram post showing seashells arranged to display numbers does not constitute a true threat. Comey is charged with threatening to kill President Donald Trump through the post, which displayed the numbers "86 47." The filing argues the post lacks the elements necessary to meet legal definitions of a threat. A judge will determine whether the motion to dismiss will be granted.
