The Comey Case Takes Another Dramatic Turn: Former FBI Director Accuses DOJ of Illegal Surveillance Former FBI Director James Comey has accused the Department of Justice (DOJ) of ordering illegal surveillance on his phone in an attempt to discredit him.
This latest development is part of a long running narrative of alleged vindictiveness and selective prosecution. According to Comey, the DOJ instructed the U. S.
Secret Service to conduct electronic surveillance on his phone without a warrant after he posted a photo of seashells arranged to spell out "86 47" on Instagram in April 2025.
