0:58Now PlayingFormer FBI Director James Comey appeared in a Virginia court Wednesday on charges that he threatened President Donald Trump's life.
During the brief, closed-door hearing, Comey did not enter a plea deal, but his lawyers said they plan to argue his prosecution is vindictive and selective.
Comey faces two criminal charges related to a photo he posted online last year of seashells spelling out the numbers 8647 — 86 is common slang for getting rid of something or someone, and Trump is the 47th president.
Comey later removed the post. He's denied any wrongdoing.
