前FBI局长詹姆斯·科米向法院提交动议，要求驳回针对他的联邦刑事指控1。科米被控"故意并蓄意"威胁特朗普生命，以及通过州际商业传递威胁1。科米的律师辩称，他在社交媒体上发布的贝壳排成"86 47"数字的照片属于受保护的政治言论，而非真实威胁1。
"86 47"这一口号长期以来在网络文化中意为"除掉"或"赶出"，已被数千种在线商品使用1。科米在被特勤局采访后删除了该帖子，并声称"我没有意识到有些人将这些数字与暴力联系起来"1。对此，特朗普在接受Fox News采访时回应称："一个孩子都知道那是什么意思。如果你是FBI局长还不知道，那意味着暗杀。"1
代理司法部长托德·布兰奇在4月表示将通过"证人、文件、被告人"来证明意图1。这是针对科米的第二起案件；之前在弗吉尼亚州针对他的案件因非法任命的检察官在去年11月被驳回1。
Former FBI Director James Comey has asked a judge to dismiss federal charges accusing him of threatening former President Donald Trump through a social media post featuring seashells arranged in the numerals "86 47" 1. Comey's legal team argues the image constitutes protected political speech rather than a genuine threat, characterizing the prosecution as retaliatory action by the Trump administration against a political opponent 1.
Comey faces charges of intentionally and willfully threatening Trump's life and transmitting threats through interstate commerce 1. The numerals "86 47" have long functioned as internet shorthand meaning "remove" or "get rid of," and the phrase has been incorporated into thousands of online products 1. After being interviewed by the Secret Service, Comey deleted the post and stated, "I was not aware that some people were connecting these numbers to violence" 1.
This marks the second case brought against Comey; a previous prosecution in Virginia was dismissed in November due to the prosecutor's invalid appointment 1. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch asserted in April that the government would prove intent "through witnesses, documents, and the defendant" 1. Trump, when interviewed by Fox News, countered: "A child would know what that means. If you're the FBI director and you don't know it, it means assassination" 1.
