Then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said at the time that the former FBI leader had "just called for the assassination" of the president and said the Secret Service would investigate and "respond appropriately." CNN first reported that Comey had been indicted again.

"I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence," Comey wrote. "It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down."
