💨 Abstract

A conspiracy theory among right-wing circles, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, claims that former FBI director James Comey posted an assassination threat against Donald Trump using seashells arranged to spell '8647' on Instagram. Some interpret this as a coded threat, with '86' meaning "kill" and '47' referring to Trump as the 47th president. Comey denied this, stating he was unaware of any violent connotations.
