Washington (USA), April 29 (LaPresse) – Former FBI director James Comey has surrendered to law enforcement at the federal court of the Eastern District of Virginia. CNN reports this, citing a source familiar with the matter. Comey has been taken into custody for his initial court appearance. The hearing began at 1 p.m. (7 p.m. in Italy). Comey is accused of threatening the life of President Donald Trump in a social media post from a year ago showing seashells arranged on a beach forming the words "86 47", where the first two numbers allegedly represent a slang expression for getting rid of someone, while the latter would be a possible reference to Trump, who became the 47th President of the United States. “I am still innocent. I am not afraid, I believe in the independence of the federal judiciary,” Comey said in recent hours in a video posted on his Substack account.
