- President Donald Trump has suggested that graffiti reading "86 47" at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was "probably" inspired by former FBI director James Comey.
- The Department of Justice previously charged Comey over an Instagram post showing seashells spelling "86 47," alleging it constituted an assassination threat against the president.
- Comey has denied all charges and asked a federal judge to dismiss the case, arguing the prosecution's claims lack common sense.
- Trump criticised U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Truth Social for dropping indictments against people accused of vandalizing the Reflecting Pool’s $14.7 million renovation.
- He also acknowledged contractor errors in the project and announced the monument would reopen shortly, equipped with new security cameras.
