A federal grand jury in North Carolina indicted former FBI Director James Comey on April 28 for allegedly threatening President Trump via an Instagram post featuring seashells arranged as "8647," interpreted as a coded threat, marking the second such action after prior Virginia charges were dismissed without prejudice in November 2025 over an unlawful U.S. attorney appointment. Comey made his initial court appearance this week, with the DOJ having appealed the earlier dismissal. Traders' 92% implied probability on "No" reflects the case's early procedural stage in a new jurisdiction, lack of filed dismissal motions, and ongoing Trump administration momentum via DOJ, rendering a drop by May 31 unlikely absent a swift court ruling on free speech or venue challenges. Pre-trial hearings loom as potential catalysts.
