The Supreme Court ruled in 2023 that proving a \u201ctrue threat\u201d requires demonstrating that the individual understood their statement would be perceived as threatening. The widespread use of the phrase \u201c86 47\u201d among critics of the Trump administration could complicate that argument and raise broader First Amendment questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest case comes after a separate indictment last year in which Comey was accused of lying to Congress and obstruction related to his 2020 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. That case was ultimately dismissed after a judge found issues with the legitimacy of the prosecutor who brought the charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche pushed back on suggestions that the case was politically driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cOf course not, absolutely, positively not,\u201d Blanche <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/james-comey-indictment-todd-blanche-trump\/\">said<\/a> on \u201cCBS Mornings\u201d when asked whether President Trump directed him to pursue charges against Comey. \u201cThis is something that has been investigated for nearly a year now, and the results of that investigation is that a grand jury returned an indictment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Comey is expected to appear in federal court following his surrender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class= \"house-ad\"><center><p class= \"sponsored\">Sponsored<\/p><strong><span style=\" color:#ff0004\" class=\" has-inline-color has-text-align-center\"><a href= \"https:\/\/secure.anedot.com\/tppac\/db-action?source_code=db-tppac-em53-004&#038;utm_campaign=tp260207&#038;utm_medium=revshare&#038;utm_source=db&#038;utm_content=text_link1&#038;exitIntent=true\">People with severe psychiatric illness shouldn\u2019t be sent to jail.
