NEW YORK (AP) — Former FBI director James Comey says that he’s still a bit bewildered over how a seemingly innocent Instagram shot of shells arranged in the sand led to allegations by Donald Trump among others that he was calling for the president’s assassination and to an interview with the Secret Service.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump claimed, “[Comey] knew exactly what that meant...That meant assassination. and it says it loud and clear."

James Comey, former FBI director, emphasized that the "8647" post was "totally innocent" and not intended as a threat.
