Kristi Noem said police are looking at a post by James Comey. Some people think it asks for violence against President Trump.

Comey put a photo of shells on Instagram. He said the shells looked like numbers. The numbers were "86 47".

Some people who worked with Trump said Comey wanted Trump to be killed. Noem said that the police are checking this and will act.

A popular dictionary says "86" can mean "throw away" or "refuse." It also says some people use it to mean "kill," but this is new and not common.

The message is gone now. After that, Comey said, "I put a photo of shells from the beach online. I thought it was just a picture. I didn't know the numbers were about something bad."

Comey wrote something online. Some people did not like it. Donald Trump Jr. said Comey wanted his father to die.

Kash Patel from the FBI said he knew about it. He is talking to the Secret Service about it.

James Blair works at the White House. He said this is a tricky time because Trump is in the Middle East.

Blair said on X that Jim Comey wants bad people to hurt the President when he is in the Middle East.

Comey was the boss of the FBI from 2013 to 2017. Trump fired him. The FBI was looking at if Trump's team and Russia worked together in 2016. Comey wrote a popular book about his job.

He writes crime books. His new book, "FDR Drive," comes out on Tuesday and he is telling people about it.
