Donald Trump accused former FBI director James Comey of calling for assassination in coded social media posts written in Seashells.

Comey's Instagram post - A photo of shells on the beach arranged to spell the number 8647, he used right-wing supporters to use "cool shells formed on my beach walk" and used right-wing supporters to claim it was a call to assassinate the US president. The Secret Service said it had launched an investigation.

Comey said “never thought” that these numbers represent coding threats. The number 86 is a common word that stops or gets rid of something, usually a common word that pops up from an old device or something like a bar, and is often synonymous with "Nix". The number 47 can be understood as the 47th President Trump.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed on social media that the Secret Service was responsible for presidential security, part of the Department of Homeland Security, as part of the “ongoing investigation” conducted on Friday later Friday.

"He knows exactly what it means. A kid knows what it means. If you are a director of the FBI and you don't know what it means? That means assassination. It's loud and clear."

Trump claimed Comey was “been so hard because people like me like what’s going on in our country”, adding: “He called for the assassination of the president.”

Comey was fired by Trump in a 2017 investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 election, hours after he began to draw the attention of Trump administration officials and supporters.

After knocking down the post, Comey said he thought it was a political message, but he said it could be related to the call for violence.

Communication is the latest in a continuing war about the political rhetoric launched. Last year, two attempts to assassinate the president were conducted, neither of them had any clear partisan ideology.

Republicans also used the number 86 to call Joe Biden of Ige: For example, the T-shirts sold on Amazon read "8646", which indicates the call for impeachment (46th President).

Overheated political rhetoric has long been a controversial subject. Biden said that last July, days before he said "putting Trump into the bull's-eye" was a mistake, days before Saturday's assassination of his election rival, and Trump repeatedly used similar language, including suggesting that former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney might not be such a "Wowhavk" and that if she shoots her at her, it's her feeling.

A Secret Service spokesman confirmed the agency was "aware of the incident" and said it would "strive to investigate" any potential threats, but did not provide further details.

Comey said in a statement: “I posted earlier photos of some of the shells I saw on the beach walk today, and I think it is a political message.

"I didn't realize that some people associate these numbers with violence. I've never happened, but I'm against any kind of violence, so I fell down my post."

The post ignited a fire on the right.

Homeland Security Director Kristi Noem wrote on X: "The lost former FBI director James Comey just called for the assassination of Potus Trump.

FBI Director Kash Patel said his agency would “provide all necessary support” as part of an investigation led by the Secret Service.

Presidential Security Agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said on social media that the agency has investigated anything that could be considered a threat. He added: “We are aware of the social media posts of the former FBI Director and we take such remarks very seriously.”

Tulsi Gabbard, director of the National Intelligence Department, said she had no explanation for buying Comey, that the information had no greater meaning. Gabbard said Comey had “just issued a lawsuit to murder the U.S. president.”

“As a former FBI’s most of his career, he was prosecuting mobs and gangsters, he knew exactly what he was doing and had to bear the responsibility based on the full responsibility of the law,” Gabbard posted on X.

Gabbard later told Fox News that Comey "had a blow to the president" and "a dangerous thing that cannot be underestimated."

The post was released as a result of the upcoming release of FDR Drive by former FBI director, the third part of a crime series about fictional New York lawyer Nora Carleton. Publisher’s Weekly outlines the plot’s purpose is centered on U.S. prosecutors, the lawyer who tried to bring it to justice, “the far-right media figure of a popular podcast insults the people he believes are destroying America: intellectuals, immigrants and people of color.”
