Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said ex-FBI Director James Comey should be ‘put behind bars’ for a post he made on Instagram on Thursday allegedly ‘issuing a call to assassinate [President Donald Trump.]’
Earlier on Thursday, Comey shared a picture on Instagram with seashells formed in the numbers ’86 47.’ To some, the number ’86’ is a call sign for murdering or getting rid of someone or something and ’47’ is typically used to refer to the 47th President of the United States.
‘Cool shell formation on my beach walk…,’ Comey wrote in the caption of the picture, which has since been deleted.
Gabbard made the comments on ‘Jesse Watters Primetime’ Thursday night after Comey said he wasn’t aware that the number ’86’ stands for some sort of violence.
‘I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message,’ Comey said after deleting the initial picture. ‘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.’
Gabbard said Comey and his people ‘need to be held to account according to the law’ regardless of why he said he posted the picture.
‘The rule of law says people like him who issue direct threats against the POTUS, essentially issuing a call to assassinate him, must be held accountable under the law,’ Gabbard said, adding that she thinks he should be in jail.
The national intelligence director said Comey’s post has her ‘very concerned for [the president’s life.]’
‘I’m very concerned for the president’s life; we’ve already seen assassination attempts. I’m very concerned for his life and James Comey, in my view, should be held accountable and put behind bars for this,’ she said.
Gabbard also said Comey has a lot of influence and that there are ‘people who take [him] very seriously.’
Shortly after Comey removed the post, Fox News Digital learned from a Secret Service source that the agency was aware of the incident and agents are being sent to investigate and interview Comey.
The White House also condemned Comey’s actions, with White House deputy chief of staff and Cabinet Secretary Taylor Budowich calling his post ‘deeply concerning.’
‘While President Trump is currently on an international trip to the Middle East, the former FBI Director puts out what can clearly be interpreted as ‘a hit’ on the sitting President of the United States — a message etched in the sand,’ Budowich wrote on X. ‘This is deeply concerning to all of us and is being taken seriously.’
Comey, who led the FBI during Trump’s first term before he was fired from the spot, had no comment when reached by Fox News Digital earlier on Thursday.

Eight years ago, during the first few days of President Donald Trump’s first term, I joined his other senior advisers in the White House Situation Room to discuss our approach to Saudia Arabia, which was then in the midst of an internal power struggle. Should we work with the older generation of Saudi leaders, with whom the U.S. has done business with for decades? Or would we take a chance on the younger generation, who were untested, but are committed to massive social and economic change.
Jared Kushner made the case for the new leaders, especially Mohammed bin Salman (MBS). Kushner argued they would take Saudi Arabia in a different direction — away from the religiously and socially conservative, insular, extremist-tolerant older generation of their grandparents – and build a modern, tolerant and open society, with rights for women.
They wanted to diversify the Saudi economy beyond its reliance on oil and create a modern nation focused on technology, investment and infrastructure. They would stand against Islamic extremism and work with us to destroy terrorist movements. They were open to the idea of peace with Israel as the foundation of a wilder peace in the Middle East.
The choice was Trump’s, and one of his first major foreign policy decisions. He would continue his rock-solid support of Israel, but he took a bet on the younger generation of Sunni Arab leaders. He withdrew from President Barack Obama’s flawed nuclear weapons deal with Iran, believing that the road to Middle East peace went through Riyadh and Israel, not Tehran.
This week’s trip to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE was Trump’s victory lap. His big bet in 2017 paid off. He could say with great pride, ‘Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts and tired divisions of the past, and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos; where it exports technology, not terrorism; and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together — not bombing each other out of existence.’
The Gulf Arab nations, led by Saudi Arabia, have accomplished extraordinary things in the last eight years, despite the cold shoulder given them during the Biden administration. They were crucial in destroying ISIS and other Islamist extremist movements. They played a major behind-the-scenes role in the Abraham Accords between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and then Morocco. While not yet a formal signatory to the Abraham Accords, Saudi Arabia is well on its way.
The Saudis, along with the other Gulf Arab leaders, have now urged Trump to open a dialogue with the new leaders of Syria. He has taken another bet on peace during this trip, and is dropping crippling sanctions on Syria, to give them a ‘chance at greatness.’ If Trump is right, Syria will no longer be a scourge of the region it has been for decades; using chemical weapons on its own people, hosting extremist groups bent on spreading death and destruction, and welcoming in Russian influence.
Perhaps most important of all, Trump has put a stake in the heart of American interventionist foreign policy pursued by both political parties for the last 20 years. We will no longer fight forever wars in the Middle East in a futile attempt to force them into the American mold. We will no longer give nations ‘lectures on how to live or how to govern their own affairs.’
As Trump said in his first address to the United Nations General Assembly in 2017, ‘We do not expect diverse countries to share the same cultures, traditions, or even systems of government. But we do expect all nations to uphold these two core sovereign duties: to respect the interests of their own people and the rights of every other sovereign nation…
‘In America, we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to watch.’
Our policy is Peace through Strength – which encompasses all forms of our strength, not just our military strength.
What better way to honor the spirit of our own founding 250 years ago, than to encourage other ‘sovereign nations let their people take ownership of the future and control their own destiny.’

Snoop Dogg is ready to respond to all the ‘sellout’ comments he’s received after his Crypto Ball performance during President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January.
During a recent appearance on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ the legendary rapper addressed the criticism he’s received since his performance and announced that his new music is a direct response to the haters.
When asked if he’s bothered by the negative feedback, Snoop Dogg said he isn’t because he believes his performance was for a good cause.
‘I DJ’ed at the Crypto Ball for what, 30 minutes?’ he said.
‘Made a whole bunch of money, made a lot of relationships to help out the inner city and the community and teach financial literacy and crypto in a space that it don’t exist.
‘Made a whole bunch of money, made a lot of relationships to help out the inner city and the community and teach financial literacy and crypto in a space that it don’t exist.’
‘That’s 30 minutes. [For] 30 years, Snoop Dogg been doing great things for the community, building, showing up, standing up for the people, making it happen, being all I can be,’ he continued.
Snoop made it clear his performance was not a Trump endorsement.
‘Even if I would have done it for him and hung out with him and took a picture with him, can’t none of you motherf—ers tell me what I can and can’t do.
‘But I’m not a politician. I don’t represent the Republican Party. I don’t represent the Democratic Party. I represent the motherf—ing Gangster Party period point blank, and G s— we don’t explain s—, so that’s why I didn’t explain. That’s why I didn’t go into detail when motherf—ers was trying to cancel me and say he a sellout,’ he said.
The rapper shared some examples of comments he received online after his inauguration performance.
Snoop Dogg said, ‘I would post s—, and I see motherf—ers like, ‘Oh he a sellout.’ You know what I would do? Jump right in their DM with a video, ‘You b—- a– … What’s happening … I’m Snoop Dogg … what you want to do?’ And guess what they would do? ‘Oh, man, I’m just a fan man. I’m sorry.’ Yeah … you got me f—ed up … I jump all off in your s— … and talk to you face to face.
‘The things that I do in real life should matter to you more, not what I do when I’m deejaying or making music or doing this and that,’ he said, before adding that people should be asking, ‘What is he like as a real person?’
Snoop Dogg’s album, ‘Iz it a Crime?’ was released May 15 and is his direct response to the criticism he’s received over the past few months, he told ‘The Breakfast Club.’

Snoop Dogg’s representatives did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Shortly after Trump’s big day, the ‘Gin and Juice’ rapper shared a video of himself giving a blunt response to the backlash.
Snoop, 53, was listening to gospel music as he appeared to be smoking marijuana in a car.
‘It’s Sunday. I got gospel in my heart,’ he said in the video clip posted on Instagram. ‘For all the hate I’m going to answer with love, I love too much.’
‘Get your life right, stop worrying about mine. I’m cool. I’m together. Still a Black man. Still 100% Black. All out ’til you ball out or ’til you fall out.’
‘The Next Episode’ rapper additionally spoke out about how he has previously dealt with negative responses after his pre-inauguration performance.
‘You ‘gon deal with hate when you get to the top, no matter who you are. … Me, personally, I answer it with success and love. That’s my answer to any hate and negativity that comes my way, ’cause it’s the strongest force that can beat it,’ he shared on the ‘R&B Money Podcast’ in January.
Snoop performed at the Crypto Ball event and played fan favorites from Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’ to Bob Marley’s ‘Three Little Birds (Don’t Worry About a Thing).’ He also performed a few of his own hits, including, ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot.’
The ‘Young, Wild and Free’ rapper performed after he recently changed his tune about President Trump.
Years after Snoop appeared on ‘The Apprentice‘ in 2007 and delivered laughs during a Trump roast in 2011, he called Trump a clown and mocked him in a music video. In his video for his song ‘Lavender’ in 2017, Snoop depicted Trump as a clown and shot the president in the head.
In 2020, during an appearance on Big Boy’s radio show, Snoop argued Trump shouldn’t be in office.
‘I ain’t never voted a day in my life, but this year I think I’m going to get out and vote because I can’t stand to see this punk in office one more year,’ the rapper said on ‘Big Boy’s Neighborhood on Real 92.3.’
Snoop explained he didn’t believe he was allowed to vote at the time due to his criminal record. Snoop was convicted of a felony in 1990 and 2007.
However, after a long history of condemning the President and his supporters, Snoop praised Trump in January 2024.
‘Donald Trump? … He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris,’ Snoop told The Sunday Times.
‘So, I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.’
Michael ‘Harry-O’ Harris, an associate of Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight and the founder of the label’s parent company, Godfather Entertainment, was pardoned in 2021 as one of Trump’s final decisions before leaving office for the first time. Snoop Dogg was famously signed by the label only to leave later in his career. Snoop acquired Death Row Records in 2022.
Harris was imprisoned on charges of conspiracy and attempted murder for over three decades. Snoop Dogg praised Trump at the time for his commutation of Harris.

President Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. has given Iran a proposal for a nuclear deal.
‘Yeah they have a proposal, but more importantly, they know they have to move quickly or something bad, something bad is going to happen,’ Trump said.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned this week that the United States is facing a critical moment with Iran to curb its efforts to develop a nuclear weapon and limit its uranium enrichment.
U.S. and Iranian officials have held four rounds of talks, primarily in Oman, since Trump took office to address Tehran’s nuclear program.
The International Atomic Energy Agency, often referred to as the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, noted in a March report that Iran’s stockpile of 60% enriched uranium had alarmingly grown from 182 kg to 275 kg, approximately 401 pounds to 606 pounds, in early 2025.
‘Once you’re at 60, you’re 90% of the way there. You are, in essence, a threshold nuclear weapons state, which is what Iran basically has become,’ Rubio said Thursday on ‘Hannity’.
‘They are at the threshold of a nuclear weapon. If they decided to do so, they could do so very quickly. If they stockpile enough of that 60 percent enriched, they could very quickly turn it into 90 and weaponize it. That’s the danger we face right now. That’s the urgency here,’ he said.
The president also said Thursday in the United Arab Emirates that the U.S. and Iran have ‘sort of’ agreed to terms on a nuclear deal.
‘Iran has sort of agreed to the terms. They’re not going to make — I call it, in a friendly way — nuclear dust,’ Trump told reporters. ‘We’re not going to be making any nuclear dust in Iran.’
Congressional Republicans are urging Trump to remain committed to a hardline Iran strategy, calling for the complete dismantlement of the regime’s nuclear enrichment capabilities in a letter that drew wide support.

While Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., has been a vocal opponent of President Donald Trump’s tariff and deportation policies, the president’s latest executive order targeting prescription drug prices inspired the Silicon Valley congressman to trade political disses for diplomacy.
Khanna proposed legislation on Wednesday to codify Trump’s executive order aimed at lowering drug prices, and the Democrat is urging his Republican colleagues to follow his lead, reaching across the aisle to deliver for everyday Americans.
‘President Trump’s executive order says that Americans should pay the least price. We should not pay any more than people are paying in countries overseas. Then, it gives the Cabinet secretaries the ability to go after Big Pharma companies that are price-gouging. Now, he tried something similar in his previous administration. Big Pharma sued him, it got tied up in courts, nothing happened. That’s why we need Congress to act. I have introduced something that codifies President Trump’s language, and I’m hoping we get a Republican co-sponsor,’ Khanna told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.
As Democrats search for party unity after losing the White House, the Senate and failing to regain the House of Representatives last year, Democrats have gravitated toward an outright rejection of the Trump administration, as depicted through ongoing protests. Khanna, however, said he does not mind if Trump ‘gets a political win’ if it benefits the American people.
‘If Donald Trump says that’s something that’s good for the American people, I’m not going to oppose it just for political points,’ Khanna said.
Khanna is considered a potential 2028 presidential candidate and, like many ambitious Democrats, has crisscrossed the United States this year, bringing his vision for America to the national conversation. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich., also expected to harbor 2028 ambitions, faced some flack within the party this year for engaging directly with Trump to deliver for Michiganders.
‘If Donald Trump has a good idea that’s going to help the American people, we should work with him. If we have a philosophical disagreement, we shouldn’t. But the barometer for me, the test case is, is this helping people? Is this something that I think is going to help this country? Where I have philosophical disagreements, I speak up. But when I think that it is good legislation, I am willing to support him. And I don’t care, like some people, if he gets a political win. So much of politics is, ‘Oh, we don’t want to give the other side a political win.’ For all I care, he can have a great political win if the American public gets lower drug prices,’ Khanna told Fox News Digital.
While Khanna said he has not communicated with Trump directly about codifying his executive order, he delivered a now-viral House floor speech Wednesday, urging his Republican colleagues to join the bipartisan effort to lower prescription drug prices.
‘Are you on the side of the people, or are you on the side of the $16 billion in Big Pharma lobbyist money that was spent last year? My legislation, there’s no trick to it. It is President Trump’s idea, President Trump’s executive order, President Trump’s language into law. Every Republican should support this, and every Democrat should,’ Khanna added.
Ahead of Trump’s executive order signing, Khanna affirmed his support for lowering drug prices, reminding Americans that he proposed similar legislation alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., with the same goal in mind.
‘I just don’t understand why any Republican wouldn’t support this. It’s President Trump’s executive order, and every American agrees that prescription drug price costs are too much, that it’s so unfair that Americans are stuck with all these high bills when other countries are paying pennies on the dollar for their drugs. It’s time that Americans be treated fairly,’ Khanna said.
As Khanna, who was a surrogate for then-President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign in 2024, finds common ground with the current administration, he told Martha MacCallum on ‘The Story’ Wednesday that Biden should not have run in 2024.
‘I do think it’s important that, given what has come out, that we take accountability,’ Khanna said. ‘Obviously, he should not have run. We should be clear to say that. Obviously, there should have been an open primary. And, I don’t think that’s very difficult that Democrats should just be straight up that he should not have run, now that we have all the facts. There should have been an open primary. I think to move on and move forward, it’s important to take accountability and be straight-forward with the American people.’
While Khanna said he did not have the full picture of Biden’s health and mental acuity when he defended him before the disastrous debate performance, Khanna admitted, ‘We should be honest as a party that we made a mistake.’

Dick’s Sporting Goods is buying the struggling footwear chain Foot Locker for about $2.4 billion, the second buyout of a major footwear company in as many weeks as business leaders struggle with uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Dick’s said Thursday that it expects to run Foot Locker as a standalone unit and keep the Foot Locker brands, which include Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, WSS and Japanese sneaker brand atmos.
“Sports and sports culture continue to be incredibly powerful, and with this acquisition, we’ll create a new global platform that serves those ever evolving needs through iconic concepts consumers know and love, enhanced store designs and omnichannel experiences, as well as a product mix that appeals to our different customer bases,” Dick’s CEO Lauren Hobart said in a statement.
Both companies are led by women. Hobart became CEO at Dick’s in 2021, while Mary Dillon has served as CEO of Foot Locker since 2022.
Foot Locker announced a turnaround plan in 2023 in part to help improve its relationship with big brands. Speaking at the J.P. Morgan Retail Round Up Conference last month, Dillon said that Foot Locker is working closely with Nike, specifically in categories including basketball, sneaker culture and kids.
Earlier this month, Skechers announced that it was being taken private by the investment firm by 3G Capital in a transaction worth more than $9 billion.
The retail industry has been growing increasingly concerned over Trump’s trade war with other countries, particularly China. Athletic shoe makers have invested heavily in production in Asia.
Shares of sporting goods and athletic shoe companies have been under pressure all year. Foot Locker’s stock has plunged 41% this year. It is also facing pressure elsewhere, with major athletic companies like Nike and Adidas shifting their sales strategies.
Skechers had fallen almost 8% this year.
About 97% of the clothes and shoes purchased in the U.S. are imported, predominantly from Asia, according to the American Apparel & Footwear Association. Using factories overseas has kept labor costs down for U.S. companies, but neither they nor their overseas suppliers are likely to absorb price increases due to new tariffs.
Foot Locker, based in New York City, offers Dick’s a lot of potential, namely its huge real estate footprint, and would give the Pittsburgh company its first foothold overseas.
Foot Locker has about 2,400 retail stores across 20 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. It also has a licensed store presence in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The company had global sales of $8 billion last year.
Jefferies analyst Jonathan Matuszewski said that about 33% of Foot Locker’s sales come from outside the United States. He anticipates that the combined company would generate approximately 12% of sales internationally on a pro forma basis.
The deal also broadens Dick’s customer base, with sneaker collectors anxiously anticipating new drops from Foot Locker.
Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData, said in an emailed statement that Foot Locker, which has a 4.3% share of the sporting goods market, would give an immediate boost to Dick’s.
“It would also give Dick’s substantially more bargaining power with national brands, especially in the sneaker space,” he added.
Foot Locker shareholders can choose to receive either $24 in cash or 0.1168 shares of Dick’s common stock for each Foot Locker share that they own.
Dick’s said that it anticipates closing on the Foot Locker deal in the second half of the year. The transaction still needs approval from Foot Locker shareholders.
Dick’s stock dropped more than 10% before the market open, while shares of Foot Locker surged more than 82%.
