Ex-FBI boss James Comey has surrendered Wednesday to law enforcement as he faces charges for threatening Donald Trump’s life in an Instagram post. 

Comey surrendered Wednesday at a federal courthouse in the Eastern District of Virginia, where he was taken into custody ahead of his initial court appearance. 

He faces two federal charges: threatening the president and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce. 

Comey declared his innocence in a video message on Substack. ‘I’m still innocent, I’m still not afraid and I still believe in the independent federal judiciary, so let’s go,’ he said.

The indictment relates to an Instagram post Comey made last May featuring seashells arranged to spell out ‘8647’, a phrase adopted by Trump’s critics that the President and his allies have characterized as a call for his assassination.
