Comey moves to dismiss 'seashell 86' case, accuses Trump, DOJ of vindictive prosecution

Published Jul 29, 01:47 PM UTC

Former FBI Director James Comey filed a motion late Tuesday to dismiss the criminal case against him, which stems from his sharing a photo of seashells arranged to spell '86 47.' Comey argues the prosecution is selective and vindictive, ordered by President Trump. In a separate filing, he also requested a Franks hearing to challenge the validity of the search warrant or evidence used in the case. The case has drawn significant attention due to the unusual nature of the alleged offense and the high-profile figures involved.
