James Comey filed a motion to dismiss charges accusing him of threatening former President Donald Trump through a photograph of seashells arranged to read "86 47", arguing the image does not constitute a true threat under federal law. The filing centers on the legal definition of what qualifies as a threatening communication under federal statutes. Comey was the FBI director from 2013 to 2017.
