Megyn Kelly's AM update covers several high-profile legal and diplomatic developments, including an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, federal raids in Minnesota over alleged fraud, charges against a Fauci advisor for concealing COVID-related records, and King Charles III's address to Congress.

Comey Indicted for Alleged Threat in Seashell Post

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced a federal indictment against James Comey on two counts related to an Instagram post from May 15, 2025. The post showed seashells arranged as "86 47," with "86" interpreted in gang slang as "get rid of" or kill, and "47" referencing President Trump as the 47th president. Comey captioned it "cool shell formation on my beach walk" but deleted it hours later after backlash, including from Donald Trump Jr., who called it a call for murder. Comey issued a statement denying violent intent and later defended it on a book tour.

The grand jury in the Eastern District of North Carolina charged Comey with knowingly threatening the president's life and transmitting such a threat in interstate commerce, each carrying up to 10 years in prison. DOJ emphasized it won't tolerate threats against officials, citing similar cases. The case is before Judge Louise W. Flanagan, a George W. Bush appointee; an arrest warrant issued, but coordination with Comey's team is pending.
