0:20Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump insisted former FBI Director James Comey used a "mob term" when he arranged the numbers “86 47" in seashells and posted it on social media, telling reporters the number "86" means "kill him."
Comey made his initial court appearance Wednesday in response to federal criminal charges for allegedly threatening Trump’s life in a social media post.
A federal grand jury returned an indictment with two counts accusing Comey of threatening the president and of transmitting a threat through interstate commerce, related to a photo he posted online.
The charges against Comey are felony offenses carrying sentences of up to five years in prison, and the Justice Department’s first indictment against him last year failed after a federal judge tossed the charges.
