NEW: Federal Judge Issues Arrest Warrant For James Comey

A federal court in North Carolina has issued an arrest warrant for former FBI Director James Comey following a grand jury indictment returned earlier this week. The development marks a significant legal step in an ongoing case.

According to court filings, the indictment includes two counts related to an alleged threat against former President Donald Trump. The charges stem from a social media post shared in May 2025.

Prosecutors point to an Instagram image posted by Comey that showed seashells arranged to form the numbers “86 47.”
