–

The former director of the FBI James Comey put on an Instagram post from Seahell on Thursday, which carried out the figures “86 47” after the Republicans claimed that it was a threat to President Donald Trump.

Number 86 can often relate to get rid of or throw out something, while 47 Trump's current term as 47th president corresponds.

“Only James Comey calls up causally that my father is murdered. This is the one who worships the media. Des !!!!” Donald Trump Jr. posted on social media.

Comey, who appeared as a Trump critic after the president had released him at the beginning of his first term, denied that the picture was a call to violence.

When he explained why he removed the post, Comey wrote on Instagram that “he used to post a picture of a few mussels that I saw today on a walk on the beach that I assumed that it was a political message.

“I have not noticed that some people associate these numbers by force. It never occurred to me, but I reject violence of any kind, so I decreased the post,” he continued.

Kristi Noem, secretary of the home protection authority, wrote on Thursday evening in a social media post that DHS and the secret service examine a alleged threat to Trump from Comey.

“The former former FBI director James Comey has just asked for the murder of @Potustrump,” she wrote. “DHS and Secret Service examine this threat and react appropriately.”

A spokesman for the Secret Service announced that the agency was aware of the social media contributions, but would comment on intelligence issues that could not be protected.

“The secret service vigorously examines everything that can be seen as a potential threat to our protectors,” said the spokesman in an explanation. “We take this responsibility very seriously and are aware of the social media contributions in question.”

When Comey was reached after a comment, he led CNN CNN to his Instagram contribution and explained the removal of the earlier picture.

In another post Online, the current director of the FBI Kash Patel wrote that he was aware of Comeys Post and would be supported by the secret service.

“We are aware of the latest tweet by the former FBI director James Comey, who is directed against President Trump,” wrote Patel. “We are in connection with the Secret Service and Director (Sean) Curran. The primary jurisdiction is with SS in these affairs and we, the FBI, will provide all the necessary support.”

Comey headed the FBI during his investigation of the Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and the Hillary Clinton -e -Mail Contro -Contro before he was released from Trump in May 2017 -shortly after Trump began his first government. It served over three years.

The former FBI director was by Republicans and Democrats for his investigation into Trump and Clinton and how it was dealt with in the public sector. None of the investigations led to charges against the two politicians.

Trump criticized the former director Lange and called him a “grandstand” and a “show boat” shortly after his release in 2017.
