Court filings reveal that a Justice Department official directed the Secret Service to unlawfully track Comey's cellphone after he posted "86 47" online in May 2025, including during a visit to his deceased son's grave. The charges are based on the interpretation of "86" as a mob term for killing someone, derived from testimony by former Gambino crime family underboss Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano. Comey's legal team is seeking dismissal of the charges, arguing they constitute a vindictive and selective prosecution driven by Trump's animosity towards him. This is the second indictment against Comey since Trump returned to the White House in 2025, with a previous charge of lying to Congress having been dismissed in November.
