james comey was indicted a second time by the Justice Department after an Instagram photo showed an "8647" shell formation on a beach. The charges were not immediately clear, and the report described the case as breaking.
James Comey and the subpoena
The Justice Department has also subpoenaed Comey over his role in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russian election interference. A source confirmed the subpoena to Digital, linking the former FBI director to work that has remained part of his public record since 2017.
2017 Intelligence Community Assessment
That subpoena adds a separate legal step to the same public figure who has now been indicted twice. The first known thread ties to the 2017 assessment, while the latest indictment centers on the beach photo and the shell formation pictured in the Instagram post.
Second indictment
The new indictment leaves the public with one fixed point and one unresolved one: the Justice Department acted again, but the charges were not immediately clear. For Comey, the next step will turn on what prosecutors file and how they describe the photo that drew attention in the first place.
