What happened
James Comey
James ComeyAmerican lawyer and 7th director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (born 1960)’s lawyers filed three motions late Tuesday asking a federal judge to dismiss the case charging the former FBI director with threatening President Trump over an Instagram photo of seashells arranged as “86 47.” The filings allege Secret Service officials tracked Comey’s cellphone from North Carolina to Virginia without a warrant by invoking an emergency exception. His lawyers say investigators misled judges, omitted key facts and distorted interview notes. Court exhibits show Trump followed the investigation from Air Force One and asked a Secret Service agent for interview notes.
