Documents from a legal filing confirm that Secret Service agents properly followed protocol by sending a summary of their interview with disgraced former FBI Director James Comey to President Trump aboard Air Force One, ensuring the Commander-in-Chief was kept fully informed.
A recent court filing submitted by James Comey’s attorneys includes internal government records that confirm Secret Service agents who questioned the former FBI director were directed to send a written summary of the interview to President Donald Trump on Air Force One. This is part of Comey’s desperate attempt to dismiss criminal charges related to a suspicious social-media post he made in May 2025.
In the post, Comey shared a photograph of seashells arranged to read “86 47” on Instagram. Many Americans saw this as a veiled threat, while Comey tried to downplay the incident by claiming “86” was just restaurant slang and “47” referred to the 47th president. The context and timing, however, raised legitimate concerns about his intentions.
"The agents were told to quickly send the written summary to the president," the filing states, demonstrating the Secret Service’s commitment to keeping the president informed about potential threats from former officials.
Legal analysts note that the documents show a necessary and direct line of communication between the Secret Service and the president, who must remain vigilant against subversive actions from those who once held positions of power.
