Comey Indicted Again; Google-Pentagon AI Deal; Athens Shooting Suspect Arrested
The U.S. Department of Justice has secured a second indictment against former FBI Director James Comey, reportedly tied to a social media post featuring seashells arranged to read '86 47,' which some interpreted as threatening language toward President Trump. Separately, Google has agreed to allow its AI systems to be used in classified U.S. military work, despite internal researcher opposition. In Greece, an 89-year-old man was arrested in Patras after allegedly shooting and wounding several people at government buildings in Athens.
Progressive outlets may frame the Comey indictment as a politically motivated prosecution by the Trump administration targeting a longtime adversary, raising concerns about the weaponization of the Justice Department. The FCC review of Disney broadcast licenses over a Jimmy Kimmel joke may similarly be framed as executive branch pressure on media freedom.
The DOJ has confirmed a second indictment of James Comey; charges have not been fully detailed publicly, and the FCC has confirmed it will review Disney broadcast licenses following White House pressure over a comedian's remarks.
Conservative outlets are likely to frame the Comey indictment as appropriate accountability for a former law enforcement official who made a potentially threatening public statement, and to welcome FCC scrutiny of ABC as a legitimate regulatory response to offensive content targeting the First Lady.
