“In a video statement published on his Substack, Comey said after an earlier indictment had been thrown out on procedural grounds that Trump’s DOJ was “back: This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago.””
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim details a specific statement made by Comey regarding a Substack video and a seashell picture. While the web search results mention Comey's statements and indictments, none of the provided evidence sources (web search, Wikipedia) contain the specific quote or context about the 'Substack video' or the 'seashell picture' being the subject of the indictment. Therefore, the claim relies on information not corroborated by the provided evidence.
