Donald Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social to comment on the recent indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, following a federal case centered on a controversial Instagram post. The post showed seashells arranged to form the numbers 86 and 47 and was captioned «Cool shell formation on my beach walk» before being deleted hours later. The image quickly circulated across social media and political circles, where it drew scrutiny from commentators who interpreted the numbers as a coded reference. Federal authorities later moved forward with charges after reviewing the post and its potential meaning in the context of threats against the president.

On Truth Social, Trump framed the image as a direct threat, arguing that the number «86» carries a violent meaning in certain contexts. He wrote: «“86” is a mob term for “kill him.”» before adding: «They say 86 him! 86 47 means “kill President Trump.”» Trump also insisted that Comey understood the implication of the message, stating: «James Comey, who is a Dirty Cop, one of the worst, knows this full well!» He then amplified his accusation by posting in all capital letters: «EIGHT MILES OUT, SIX FEET DOWN!» to describe what he viewed as the intended meaning behind the image, while also adding: «Didn’t he also lie to the FBI about this???»

Federal prosecutors charged Comey with two counts tied to the post, alleging that he knowingly and willfully made a threat to take the life of and inflict bodily harm on the president, and that he knowingly transmitted that threat through interstate commerce. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison if convicted. According to the indictment, authorities argue that the combination of numbers, when publicly shared, could be interpreted by a reasonable observer as a threat. Comey surrendered to authorities after the charges were filed, appearing in court as the legal process began in a case that has drawn significant national attention.

In a video released after his surrender, Comey denied any criminal intent and rejected the accusations against him. He said: «This won’t be the end of it – but I’m still innocent, I’m still not afraid» and added: «I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.» Comey has maintained that the Instagram post was not intended to convey a threat and that he removed it after becoming aware of how it was being interpreted. His legal team has indicated it will challenge the charges, arguing that the case involves protected speech and that the interpretation of the numbers does not meet the legal threshold required for a criminal threat under federal law.

This new indictment follows a previous criminal case brought against James Comey by the Trump administration in late 2025. On September 25, Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia on two charges: making a false statement to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding, linked to his testimony during a Senate hearing about the FBI’s Russia investigation. The case did not proceed to trial. On November 24, a federal judge dismissed all charges after ruling that the prosecutor overseeing the case had been unlawfully appointed, effectively invalidating the prosecution on constitutional grounds. The dismissal did not address the substance of the allegations, leaving the claims unresolved.

The current case unfolds against a backdrop of sustained legal and political confrontation between Trump and Comey, dating back to Comey’s dismissal as FBI director. The earlier indictment, widely described as a failed prosecution tied to allegations of false statements and obstruction, has been repeatedly referenced in the context of the new charges. Legal experts note that both cases raise similar questions about prosecutorial authority and intent, particularly as the Justice Department now seeks to establish that Comey knowingly issued a threat through his social media post. The outcome is expected to depend on how courts interpret intent, context, and the limits of protected expression under federal law.

• A career change for Shannon Elizabeth.
• Shannon Elizabeth joins OnlyFans.
• She reportedly wants to change her image.
• She’s reportedly made a fortune since launching her page.
• Her divorce from Simon Borchert.

With her memorable roles in Hollywood in the early 2000s, notably in American Pie and Scary Movie, Shannon Elizabeth captured the imagination of an entire generation of movie lovers. The American actress, long associated with this iconic era of popular cinema, remains a well-known figure to the public today.

More recently, however, she surprised many fans by embarking on an unexpected career shift. Shannon Elizabeth has indeed chosen to join the OnlyFans platform, a decision that quickly drew attention.

As reported by PEOPLE, this move is part of a desire to regain more control over her image, her content, and the way she communicates with her audience. For her, it’s not just a change of platform, but a new way to maintain a direct connection with her audience.

This decision also reflects a growing trend among certain public figures who are choosing to manage their own image, bypassing the industry’s traditional filters. It is a conscious choice that marks a new chapter in her professional journey. Unsurprisingly, this shift has sparked a lot of reaction and is already fueling discussions about her career, her public image, and this newfound creative freedom.

Changing Her Image

“I’ve spent my entire career in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career,” Elizabeth said, describing the platform as “the future.”

“This new chapter aims to change that, to reveal a sexier side that no one has seen yet, and to bring me closer to my fans,” she adds.

This shift offers greater creative freedom, but also a more authentic and immediate connection with their audience, without intermediaries.

This approach is part of a broader transformation of the entertainment industry, where independence, closeness to fans, and direct monetization are playing an increasingly central role.

An Instant Success

After just one week on OnlyFans, 52-year-old Shannon Elizabeth has reportedly already generated seven-figure revenue—more than one million U.S. dollars—according to reports by PEOPLE and other media outlets.

Such a performance—as rapid as it is impressive—illustrates just how much certain public figures can capitalize on their existing fame to succeed in emerging digital environments. Known to the general public for her memorable roles in popular films of the late 1990s and early 2000s, the actress still enjoys a loyal fan base today.

Her arrival on OnlyFans did not go unnoticed: it sparked both media curiosity and public enthusiasm, two factors that likely contributed to this spectacular financial start.

Recently Divorced

According to reports from PEOPLE, Shannon Elizabeth has reportedly recently filed for divorce from her husband, Simon Borchert. This news has not gone unnoticed, especially since it coincides almost perfectly with the launch of her OnlyFans account. This timing naturally intrigues and fuels speculation about a possible personal and professional turning point in the actress’s life.

While no official link has been confirmed between these two events, their proximity in time leads some observers to see more than just a coincidence. It is not uncommon for significant changes in one’s personal life to be accompanied by a career shift or a desire to regain control over certain aspects of one’s life, particularly financial and media-related matters.

Whether it is mere chance or a deliberate sequence of events, one thing is certain: the actress appears to be at a pivotal moment in her life. Between personal growth and professional repositioning, she is part of a dynamic of transformation that clearly reflects the new possibilities offered by the digital age.

On April 25, during the annual White House Correspondence Dinner hosted at the Washington Hilton, multiple gunshots were heard in the ballroom and on the various live streams showing the event. After a few minutes of confusion, US President Donald Trump was escorted out of the ballroom, and the hundred or so journalists in the room were left scrambling to figure out what happened and why the President was ushered out with a sly grin on his face. White House personnel were the first to leave, and the journalists present slowly made their way through the main exit of the event space. According to police, the attack was an attempt on President Donald Trump’s life, with a variety of other Republican politicians being targeted as well.

Suspect storms lobby

At 8:35 PM EST, shots were heard inside the Washington Hilton Hotel. A suspect reportedly rushed through the lobby and attempted to breach a security checkpoint to gain access to the ballroom where the dinner was held. The suspect discharged his weapon once, hitting a Secret Service member. The Secret Service member was wearing a bulletproof vest and survived the incident with minor injuries. The suspect was immediately subdued and taken into custody by police and the Secret Service, and it was revealed to the public that the shooter had a shotgun, a handgun, and a knife. The suspect also sent a manifesto to multiple family members before the incident. The manifesto included comments about Donald Trump, though it didn’t mention him by name. The manifesto referred to Trump as a ‘pedophile, rapist, and traitor’.

Who is Cole Allen?

The suspect was identified by police as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen. Allen travelled from California to Washington, DC on an Amtrak train before checking into a room at the Washington Hilton on April 24, one day before the shooting. The room was booked on April 6, showing that the attack was premeditated for at least two weeks. Cole Allen worked as a software engineer. He graduated from the prestigious Caltech before earning a Master’s degree in computer science from California State University at Dominguez Hills. Allen also taught computer science online, earning a ‘Teacher of the Month’ award from a private tutoring service, C2 Education. While a student at Caltech, Allen was a part of multiple student groups, giving the public an insight into his personality. Allen was a member of the school’s Christian fellowship, as well as the NERF club, which stages NERF ‘battles’ across campus.

On his LinkedIn page, Allen described himself as a “mechanical engineer and computer scientist by degree, ​independent game developer by experience, teacher by birth.” Allen previously worked as a mechanical engineer for UK Controls in South Pasadena and as a teaching assistant at Caltech. In 2016, he competed in a robotics competition at the school. Allen was injured while being detained, but was not shot; only the Secret Service member shot by Allen was injured.

‘Anti-Christian’, ‘Anti-Trump’ manifesto?

According to Donald Trump, the manifesto that Allen allegedly sent to family members before the shooting contained ‘anti-Christian’ and ‘anti-Trump’ comments. In the manifesto, Allen refers to himself with the monikers “Friendly Federal Assassin” and “Cole coldForce.” Authorities were alerted to the manifesto by the suspect’s brother, who lives in New London, Connecticut. Allen’s brother reached out to the New York Post, which published excerpts from the document. In the document, Allen claims that he is not a victim and that only the oppressed turn the other cheek. According to Allen’s sister, who spoke with law enforcement, Allen was prone to making ‘radical statements’ and frequently spoke of his desire to ‘do something to fix the issues with today’s world’. It’s unclear what made the manifesto ‘anti-Christian’, but the manifesto called Trump’s regime ‘un-Christian’, implying that Allen was fighting for Christian values.

Allen willing to ‘go through’ targets

While this is not the first time someone has made an attempt on Donald Trump’s life, this was the first time the suspect was willing to target ‘bystanders’. Allen made it clear in his manifesto that he would be willing to kill nearly everyone in the room to get to Trump, other than Kash Patel. Patel was the only official named in the manifesto as a non-target. According to Allen, just attending the event meant complicity in Trump’s regime.

“I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit), but I really hope it doesn’t come to that”.

If Allen was hoping for support from either the right or left, his willingness to kill a roomful of journalists will not win him favour.

Trump using the attack

Trump got right to using the attack for his own benefit. Trump began with a speech just thirty minutes after the attack, joking;, “Nobody told me this was such a dangerous profession, if Marco had told me, maybe I wouldn’t have run.” Trump is also leveraging the attack to build his new $400 million ballroom. The ballroom, which Trump initially promised would be built entirely with private donations and his own money, clearly failed to garner the support it needed. Lindsay Graham confirmed that Trump only received $68 million in donations, and that the government would be seeking $332 million of taxpayer dollars to finish the job. The 90,000 sq ft ballroom will be double the size of the old space, being able to house 1,000 people. According to Trump, the ballroom needs to be finished as soon as possible for security reasons. Trump claimed that if the event had been held in the new ballroom, an incident like this would have been ‘impossible’.

It appears as though Donald Trump has broken yet another promise. The president-elect, who promised ‘no new wars’ and ‘cheap gas prices, is adding another fib to his growing list of nose-growing comments. After demolishing the White House’s East Wing in October 2025, the White House has sat half-demolished, and progress on Trump’s $400 million ballroom has been stalled for months. Now, Trump is clamouring for the ballroom to be rushed through, and he wants to use taxpayer dollars to do it, even after he claimed the entirety of the project would be privately funded by him and donors. The proposed ballroom, which was approved by Congress on April 2, will be 90,000 sqft, nearly double the size of the old ballroom. The new space will be able to host up to 1,000 guests.

The reason? Security. On April 26, 2026, during the White House correspondents’ dinner, a man allegedly tried to kill the president, forcing his way into the lobby of the Washington Hilton before being subdued by security. While the armed man did not get anywhere near the president or any other persons of interest, the event has caused Donald Trump to claim that the Washington Hilton is not secure enough.

Correspondence dinner and the Hilton

According to Trump, if the dinner had been held in his planned ballroom, security would have been so tight that the incident would never have happened. The problem is that he failed to give any reasoning as to why. The White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been held at the Washington Hilton for more than 50 years and is traditionally the home for the event. The Washington Hilton is nicknamed ‘The Beast’, and it’s not for its size; it’s for its safety. The Washington Hilton, built in 1965, has a plethora of impressive safety nets included in its design, all meant to protect the President of the United States.  The hotel has a secure, underground entrance and garage for the president to use, and has multiple layers of security separating the main lobby (where the suspect was stopped) and the private event space. The last time a president was attacked at the Washington Hilton was the attack on Ronald Reagan in 1981, which prompted the hotel to construct its underground entrance.

Trump needs security

According to Trump, he needs his ballroom sooner rather than later, and the incident at the Washington Hilton proved it. Trump claims his ballroom will be extremely secure, even though official plans were only approved on April 2. Donald Trump has claimed that there will be a massive underground bunker beneath the ballroom, which he claims is a « shed for what’s being built ». While the official plans and details of the project have been kept under tight wraps (if they even exist), Trump seems confident that the ballroom will ease his fears.

Nobody told me this was such a dangerous profession, if Marco would have told me, maybe I wouldn’t have run.

-U.S. President, Donald Trump

With Trump apparently fearing for his life, he wants to push forward the ballroom project, and he wants to use taxpayer dollars to do it.

Breaking promises

On April 27, Republicans introduced a bill to the U.S. Congress to fund Trump’s massive ballroom. Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and two fellow Republicans introduced the bill that will mainly finance the construction through taxpayer dollars. Yes, the ballroom won’t just be partially funded by taxpayer dollars; it will be funded almost entirely with public funds. According to Lindsay Graham, the government is seeking $332 million in taxpayer dollars to fund the project, with Trump garnering just $68 million in private donations.

For a ballroom that was supposed to receive $400 million in private donations and cost Americans nothing, this is a drastic change, going criminally underreported amongst the slew of other stories defining America. With Trump wrapped up in stories about his War on Iran and his relationship with Jefferey Epstein, it seems as though some stories fall through the cracks of mainstream news media, and this is one of them. Donald Trump promised America in October that the ballroom would be entirely funded by private donations and his own organization. Now, he’s changed his tune. It’s clear that Trump has failed to garner the donations required, with Graham confirming just $68 million in donations, and it’s clear that Trump doesn’t want to use his own reserves to fund the personal project; he wants to use America’s.

Where will the funding come from?

Sen. Lindsay Graham’s bill stated how it would acquire the $332 million it has requested. According to Graham, the project will be funded through « customs fees » on ​imported goods. The US reported more than $100 billion in tariffs and customs fees in 2025. The US was supposed to use that profit to reinvest in the industries negatively affected by tariffs and trade disputes. Instead, nearly half of that profit will reportedly be used to erect Donald Trump’s monument to ego. The real kicker, construction isn’t supposed to be finished until 2029, just in time for Trump to permanently leave office.
