Former FBI Director James Comey's Instagram photo of shells arranged like numbers sparked controversy. The numbers, interpreted as '86' and '47' (referencing Trump as the 47th president), led to allegations of inciting Trump's assassination. Comey explained the image was unintentional, a playful discovery during a beach walk with his wife. Despite removing the post, the image prompted calls from the Secret Service and an interview. Comey, promoting his new crime novel, expressed bewilderment over the incident.
