The FBI announced on Tuesday that it had secured a second indictment against the former FBI director, this time for, quote, making threats against the president in a 2025 Instagram post featuring seashells.

Here's Trump trying to explain this in the Oval Office on Wednesday.

Alex, can you explain this indictment?

Okay.

See, this is an important, you are, Jim Comey should hire you as his attorney.

Please do, yes.

Yes.

Like, who is this person?

And will they come forward?

Or are they going to let Jim Comey take the fall for their sand art?

I mean, this whole thing is so embarrassing.

It's ridiculous.

Like, no one can actually possibly believe that this was a real threat, that Jim Comey's making a real threat.

No matter how you interpret the number 86,

It is ridiculous.

Like, I guess I will say I have wondered what was going to happen to, you know, like kidnappers and serial killers used to cut out letters from magazines.

Like, how were they ever going to survive in the post, in the death, in a world after the death of print media?

And the answer is seashells.

It's this I mean, this is embarrassing.

This is like they are so scraping the bottom of the barrel in order to fulfill Trump's desire for Jim Comey to see the inside of a jail cell like it is embarrassing.
