Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has become the second Justice Department leader in seven months to secure an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, a longtime target of President Donald Trump’s ire. And Trump is happy with Blanche's performance in the job, according to a person familiar with the discussions, reported NBC News.
Comey
appeared briefly in court Wednesday on the latest charges. This time, the
indictment accuses him of making a threat against the president when he posted
a photo of seashells arranged to read “8647" on Instagram in May.

The first
indictment, under former Attorney General Pam Bondi, was filed in the Eastern
District of Virginia over an allegation that Comey lied to Congress five years
ago during remote testimony via Zoom. A judge dismissed that case, finding that the acting U.S.
Attorney Lindsey Halligan — a Florida insurance attorney
with no prior prosecutorial experience — was unlawfully holding her position
and had no authority to seek the indictment in the first place. Comey maintains
his innocence in both cases.
