President Donald Trump is condemning a cryptic social media post from former FBI Director James Comey, which Trump and others interpreted as a veiled call for his assassination.In an exclusive interview with Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier during a visit to Abu Dhabi, Trump said the now-deleted post, which showed seashells arranged to form the numbers "86 47," was deliberate."He wasn't very competent. But he was competent enough to know what that meant. And, he did it for a reason," Trump said in an interview that aired Friday on "Special Report."The post, shared on Instagram, featured the caption, "Cool shell formation on my beach walk." Some interpreted it as a coded message, with "86" being slang for "get rid of," and "47" referring to Trump, who is the 47th president of the United States.FORMER FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY MEETS WITH SECRET SERVICE AFTER CONTROVERSIAL '86 47' POSTComey later deleted the post and issued an apology, saying, "I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down."Trump, however, is not convinced."He knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that meant," he said. "If you're the FBI director, and you don't know what that meant that meant assassination, and it says it loud and clear."FLASHBACK: COMEY HAD ANOTHER ANTI-TRUMP SEASHELL PHOTO MOMENT DURING 2024 ELECTIONWhen asked whether Comey should face consequences, Trump declined to give a definitive answer but said the Justice Department and U.S. Secret Service are investigating."If he had a clean history he doesnt, hes a dirty cop I could understand if there was a leniency. But Im going to let them make that decision," he said.Trump also used the interview to highlight recent foreign policy developments, claiming success in brokering peace and securing economic deals in the Middle East."Im using trade to settle scores and to make peace," Trump said.He pointed to a recent ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan, calling it a major breakthrough that averted what he claimed was the potential for nuclear war.GABBARD SAYS COMEY SHOULD BE 'PUT BEHIND BARS' AFTER PICTURE ALLEGEDLY 'ISSUING A CALL TO ASSASSINATE' TRUMP"That was going to be a nuclear war, I think, or close And now everyones happy," Trump said. "In fact, I told my people, call them up, lets start trading immediately."Earlier this month, Trump announced the ceasefire in a Truth Social post, congratulating both nuclear powers for showing what he called "common sense."He said hes also looking to use his trade strategy with Iran, which he claims is looking to make a deal with the United States. The president reiterated his stance that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, and noted the solution will either be "violent or not violent" and said he would prefer the peaceful option. Trump is returning to Washington with what he described as three major investment deals from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar, amounting to billions of dollars in commitments to the U.S. economy.He also criticized President Joe Bidens approach to the region, saying, "Its a great region, but it was never treated properly. And it was certainly not treated well by Biden, who didnt know he was alive, frankly."TRUMP ANNOUNCES INDIA AND PAKISTAN AGREED TO CEASEFIRETrump added that he has eased "crippling" sanctions on Syria, claiming the countrys leadership requested relief to prove they could change.The president also commented on the ongoing war in Ukraine, saying Russian President Vladimir Putin is growing "tired" of the conflict. Trump said he believes he could pressure Russia into peace talks using economic leverage, as he claims to have done with Iran, but only if he has to.He criticized Biden for what he views as a failure to prevent the war, repeating his longstanding argument that the invasion would not have happened under his administration.Toward the end of the interview, Trump discussed the investigations into two assassination attempts against him during the 2024 campaign season. He revealed that, while some information remains classified, he has been briefed by officials and still has questions.TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SUSPECT NOW FACING FIRST-DEGREE MURDER, TERRORISM CHARGES"I thought it was strange," Trump said of one suspect. "The one guy had 18 cell phones, okay? I have a lot of cell phones, but I have like two."Discussing the Butler, Pennsylvania incident, where a bullet grazed his ear, Trump said investigators found unusual activity on the assailants phone."Three apps. Very unusual apps. And two of them were foreign apps," he noted.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPTrump says that although he continues to feel uneasy, hes been assured by officials that he is not currently at risk."They tell me its fine," he said. "It's a bit hard to be believe as I get that throbbing feeling. I get a little throbbing feeling," he added, touching on the lingering effects of his injury.

Former President Joe Biden, in newly leaked audio of hisinterview with special counsel Robert Hur, admitted he likely kept a classified document related to Afghanistan after he left the vice presidency for "posteritys sake."Biden first said he didnt recall why he had the document when asked about it by Hur, who told him it was found in the library of his lake house."I dont know that I knew," that he had the document, Biden answered, "but it wasnt something I would have stopped to think about."Hur noted that Bob Woodward and Jules Witcover both wrote about the document in their books about him, asking if he wanted to hang onto it because it might be the subject of reporting or "history."BIDEN STRUGGLES WITH WORDS, KEY MEMORIES IN LEAKED AUDIO FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL HUR INTERVIEW"I guess I wanted to hang on to it for posteritys sake. I mean, this was my position on Afghanistan. Ive been of the view from a historical standpoint that there are certain points in history, world history, where fundamental things change using technology," he said."So, there are a lot of things that I think are fundamentally changing how international societies function, and they relate a lot to technology."After the 80-year-old continued on that subject for a while, Hur interrupted him to get back to the topic of the document."No, Im sorry, thats why I wanted it," Biden answered. "It had nothing to with Afghanistan."One of the former president's lawyers then interrupted Hur to say, "For the purposes of a clean record," he wanted to avoid "getting into speculative areas," mentioning that Biden at first answered the question about the document by saying he didnt recall why he had it.At that point, Hur answered, "I think we should take a break."In other sections of the audio, Biden seems confused, asking what year his son, Beau Biden, died, and what year he left the vice presidency.HOUSE JUDICIARY SUES GARLAND FOR BIDEN AUDIO THAT HUR SAYS SHOWS HIM AS 'ELDERLY MAN WITH A POOR MEMORY'The audio, related to an investigation into Bidens handling of classified documents while vice president, came out after more than a year of congressional lawmakers demanding its release amid questions about the former presidents memory lapses and mental acuity.The House Judiciary Committee sued Attorney General Merrick Garland in July for the audio recordings, stressing the importance of the "verbal and nonverbal context" of Biden's answers that could be provided by the audio recordings, especially considering Hur opted against charging Biden after the interview, partly because Biden was viewed as"a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."The committee argued at the time that the audio recordings, not merely the transcripts of them, are "the best available evidence of how President Biden presented himself during the interview."That lawsuit was filed before Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race in July after he struggled in a June debate with Trump.Biden had exerted executive privilege over the audio recordings while president.Hur, whoreleased his reportto the public in February 2024 after months of investigation, did not recommend criminal charges against Biden for mishandling and retaining classified documents, and he said he would not bring charges against Biden even if he were not in the Oval Office.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThose records included classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan and other countries, among other records related to national security and foreign policy that Hur said implicated "sensitive intelligence sources and methods."Fox News Digital has reached out to Biden for comment.

GOP House Oversight Committee Chairman and other Republicans are raising concerns about former President Joe Biden's cognitive functions were well enough to authorize aides to use an autopen tool to sign important documents on his behalf.On Friday evening, Axios released exclusive audio footage of Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, which reveals clues about Biden's cognitive functioning while president that the interview's transcript did not elucidate. Biden can be heard slurring his words, muttering and taking long pauses. Meanwhile, Biden also failed to recall the date of his son Beau's death or the year Trump was first elected. "It questions who was actually making the decisions," Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said Friday night on Fox News Channel's "Hannity.""Clearly, from that interview, which was many, many months prior to the heavy use of the autopen, Joe Biden wasn't capable of making decisions. He wasn't coherent."BIDEN STRUGGLES WITH WORDS, KEY MEMORIES IN LEAKED AUDIO FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL HUR INTERVIEWEarlier Friday, Comer announced a new investigation trying to uncover who gave the orders to use the autopen. According to Comer, among other important things, the autopen tool was used to grant presidential pardons to Biden's family members. "It does call into question these pardons the use of autopen, and I think it may actually open the door I'm not a lawyer but I'd imagine Trump or his administration may try to make some arguments to federal courts about actions Joe Biden took because now we've got more information coming out, and they're reasonably going to determine, Yeah Joe Biden couldnt remember anything. He didn't even know when his son died, or when Trump got elected or when he left office," political commentator Tim Pool added.'TERRIFYING': BIDEN-HUR AUDIO SHOWCASES FORMER PRESIDENT'S DECLINECLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Who was controlling the autopen? Who was pulling the strings? Who were the unelected bureaucrats making decisions that negatively impacted our country?" asked former Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advisor Link Lauren. "I want names."Donald Trump has said he does not use autopen to sign legally binding documents like pardons. In March, a White House official confirmed it was the administration's policy to use Trump's hand signature on any legally binding documents.

When asked by special counsel Robert Hur's co-counsel, Marc Krickbaum, in 2023 about a handwritten memo on Afghanistan during the Obama administration, President Joe Biden said he didn't "remember" telling Mark Zwonitzer, the ghostwriter of his book, "Promise Me, Dad," he "just found all the classified stuff downstairs."In a new audio file released by Axios Friday, Biden said "I don't remember" numerous times as Krickbaum questioned him on the second day of interviews in October 2023 about having classified documents he should not have had after leaving office."You said to Mark, I just found all the classified stuff downstairs, and, so, you can imagine we are curious what you meant when you said, I just found all the classified stuff downstairs," Krickbaum said.BIDEN STRUGGLES WITH WORDS, KEY MEMORIES IN LEAKED AUDIO FROM SPECIAL COUNSEL HUR INTERVIEW"I don't remember," Biden replied. "And I'm not supposed to speculate, right?""Correct," Biden's attorney, Bob Bauer, chimed in."So, OK, well, I don't remember, and it may have been I just don't remember," the former president mumbled.BIDEN'S TEAM HID THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS HEALTH ALL ALONG: WH PRESS SECAfter explaining that he was referring to a conversation with Zwonitzer about a handwritten memo he wrote for former President Barack Obama, Biden replied, "I probably did. I don't remember specifically, but my guess is I may have done that."Then, leading to the "classified stuff downstairs" comment, Zwonitzer asked Biden if he had found any documents in his home or if he told Zwonitzer about finding any while they worked together on the book in 2017.Stumbling over his words, Biden replied, "No, the only thing I can remember is I wanted to be clear to him that I didn't want what he just heard me say about the memo to Barack, even though it wasn't a top secret thing (indiscernible), I didn't, I didn't want any of that mentioned. It was confidential."He clarified he didn't mean confidential in the classification sense, but that he did not want it included in the book about his son, Beau.They discussed boxes in the library, hallway and the "back of the garage," with Biden noting he did not know "where in the hell" all of it was going, but that was the extent of his knowledge of what they contained."Not like I'm looking for something, like I'm trying to compile things. But just what'd they pack up, what's here," Biden said.BIDEN ADMIN OFFICIALS NOTICED STAMINA ISSUES IN PRESIDENT'S FIRST FEW MONTHS IN OFFICE: REPORTWhile the White House released the transcripts during his presidency, the audio of the interviews remained under wraps, with some speculating about his mental state as the reason.Hur's investigation, which concluded in 2024, found Biden should not be criminally charged for mishandling and retaining classified documents that detailed military and foreign policy in Afghanistan and other countries, among other national security topics.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAfter Hur described the former president as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," Biden fired back, saying, "I'm well-meaning, and I'm an elderly man, and I know what the hell I'm doing. I've been president. I put this country back on its feet. I don't need his recommendation."Fox News Digital's Brie Stimson contributed to this report.
