Secret Service Surveilled Comey in Trump 8647 Threat Case

Lawyers for James Comey allege that the U.S. Secret Service conducted illegal electronic surveillance of him in May 2025 at the request of a high-level official. This occurred on the same day President Trump claimed Comey was threatening him by posting the numbers '8647'. The court filing states that the surveillance was deemed 'legally questionable' by a Secret Service supervisor but proceeded nonetheless. Comey's lawyers are seeking to dismiss an indictment against him, emphasizing the Secret Service's coordination with the DOJ and the President. This legal dispute may impact public perception of government surveillance practices and political accountability.
