The former FBI Director was grilled by Secret Service Agents after a social media post that said '86 47,' which many took as a threat to President Donald Trump.
A lawyer for Comey declined to comment.
But earlier, Comey did back off of his post, writing on social media, "I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message," the subsequent post from Comey said. "I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down."
The President did not accept Comey's explanation, which you can see below.
