Earlier we reported about a controversial Instagram post by former FBI Director James Comey. You can read all about in the below two stories if you’re not familiar, then come back for the update.
Reporter Nick Sortor says FBI Director Kash Patel is directing the Secret Service to look into Comey’s post, which has now been removed:
“#BREAKING: Director Kash Patel announces the FBI is actively working the Secret Service, investigating disgraced director James Comey for calling for Trump to be assassinated Comey has since retracted, pretending like he doesn’t know what it means to “86” someone LOCK HIM UP”

Here’s Comey’s “apology” post acknowledging he removed his 86 47 post despite many liberal activists on X now emboldened to repost that messaging now as we wrote about on our other articles and posted about on X.
This is a developing story with updates likely to come.
A White House spokesman just added:
“It’s worth noting this assassination threat follows President Trump historic Saudi speech where he declared the demise of the neocons and nation builders.
American leadership has been restored and peace is on the horizon. This has left the Deep State desperate and dangerous—Comey is only the latest and most disturbing example of them lashing out through threats of violence.
Democrats must condemn these threats, not stoke them.
We will remain vigilant and unafraid.”
