FORMER FBI chief James Comey has sparked fury after sharing a beach photo that has been perceived as a threat toward Donald Trump.
Comey shared a picture of seashells laid out in the code 8647.
He has since deleted the picture, but it triggered a huge backlash from the US Government.
Kristi Noem, the head of Homeland Security, warned that she and the Secret Service will launch a probe.
She claimed Comey had called for Trump to be assassinated.
In the US, the number 86 refers to an item being taken off the menu, and Trump is the 47th president.
Comey also clarified the picture in a subsequent statement.
“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message,” he said.
” I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.”
Trump survived two assassination attempts in the run-up to last year’s presidential election.
