THIS TIME OVER ALLEGATIONS HE THREATENED TO HARM THE PRESIDENT. AND WE'RE JUST LEARNING TONIGHT THAT COMEY IS LIKELY TO TURN HIMSELF IN. LATER THIS WEEK. THIS IS THE SOCIAL MEDIA POST THAT LED TO THE INDICTMENT. LOOK CLOSELY. THEY ARE SEASHELLS ARRANGED ON A BEACH. SIMPLY SPELLING OUT 8647. 86 OFTEN REFERS TO CANCELING OR GETTING RID OF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE, WHICH PROSECUTORS ARE NOW CALLING A DIRECT THREAT AGAINST THE 47TH PRESIDENT.

THE CHARGES COME MONTHS AFTER COMEY WAS INDICTED IN A DIFFERENT CASE, WHICH A FEDERAL JUDGE TOSSED LAST YEAR. COMEY JUST TONIGHT SAYING HE'S STILL INNOCENT. NOW MAJOR QUESTIONS OVER THE POTENTIAL POLITICAL NATURE OF THIS INDICTMENT. AND WHETHER IT WILL HOLD UP IN COURT. IT'S ALL HAPPENING AS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION RAISES. THE STAKES WITH LATE NIGHT HOST JIMMY KIMMEL. THE FCC TAKING AN UNPRECEDENTED STEP, SEEMING TO THREATEN. DISNEY'S ABILITY TO BROADCAST. ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THROUGH ITS OWN TV STATIONS, ALL OF IT PART OF A VERY BUSY DAY IN WASHINGTON THAT INCLUDED. A RARE ADDRESS TO CONGRESS. BY KING CHARLES. WE'LL COVER ALL OF IT TONIGHT, BUT WE START WITH NBC'S KELLY O'DONNELL AT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT. ROUND TWO. TONIGHT. A NEW INDICTMENT AND AN ARREST WARRANT. AGAINST FORMER FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY. A FRESH ATTEMPT TO PROSECUTE A FIGURE. THE PRESIDENT PUBLICLY TARGETED FOR RETRIBUTION, THREATENING THE LIFE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WILL NEVER BE TOLERATED.

BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. A FEDERAL GRAND JURY IN NORTH CAROLINA INDICTING COMEY FOR. MAKING A THREAT TO TAKE THE LIFE OF THE PRESIDENT. AND COMMUNICATING THAT THREAT ACROSS STATE LINES ON SOCIAL MEDIA. IN 2025, COMEY POSTED. COOL SHELL FORMATION ON MY BEACH WALK. THE NUMBERS 8647 ARRANGED ON SAND, INTERPRETED BY SOME AS AN OLD SLANG TERM 86 FOR GET RID OF, AND 47 REFERRING TO THE PRESIDENT.

FACING BACKLASH, COMEY WRITING. I DIDN'T REALIZE SOME FOLKS ASSOCIATED WITH VIOLENCE, SO I TOOK IT DOWN. HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANT. A CHILD KNOWS WHAT THAT MEANT. IF YOU'RE. THE FBI DIRECTOR AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT, THAT MEANT. ASSASSINATION. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SAYS COMEY'S POST IS NOT PROTECTED FREE SPEECH BUT A CRIME. HOW WILL YOU PROVE INTENT WHEN. MR. COMEY SAID HE DID NOT ASSOCIATE '86 WITH DOING HARM AND HE TOOK IT DOWN PROMPTLY?

WELL, IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT. THIS CASE WAS INDICTED TODAY. HOW DO YOU PROVE INTENT IN ANY CASE? YOU PROVE INTENT WITH WITNESSES, WITH DOCUMENTS, WITH THE DEFENDANT HIMSELF TO THE EXTENT IT'S APPROPRIATE, AND THAT'S HOW WE'LL PROVE INTENT IN THIS CASE. COMEY RESPONDING TONIGHT, I'M STILL INNOCENT. I'M STILL NOT AFRAID. AND I STILL BELIEVE IN THE INDEPENDENT FEDERAL JUDICIARY, SO LET'S GO. THE TRUMP-COMEY RELATIONSHIP HAS BEEN BITTER FOR YEARS.

THE PRESIDENT ANGERED BY THE RUSSIA INVESTION. HE'S A DIRTY COP, COMEY. I THINK HE'S A DIRTY COP. I THINK HE'S MORALLY UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT. AN UNRELATED FEDERAL INDICTMENT AGAINST COMEY LAST YEAR WHERE HE WAS. ACCUSED OF LYING TO CONGRESS WAS DISMISSED BY A JUDGE, BUT THE DOJ IS APPEALING. AND KELLY, I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME NEW REPORTING ABOUT THE ARREST WARRANT ISSUED FOR COMEY. TOM, DESPITE THAT ARREST WARRANT, TWO SENIOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS TELL US THAT DISCUSSIONS ARE UNDERWAY. FOR COMEY TO VOLUNTARILY TURN HIMSELF.

IN IN NORTH CAROLINA THIS WEEK. NOW. COMEY'S LAWYER SAYS HIS DEFENSE WILL WORK TO VINDICATE COMEY. AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT. TOM. KELLY O'DONNELL LEADING US OFF TONIGHT. NOW TO THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING LATE NIGHT HOST JIMMY KIMMEL. IN AN UNPRECEDENTED MOVE, THE FCC WILL BE REVIEWING. ABC STATION'S LICENSES. IT COMES AFTER HIS COMMENTS. ABOUT THE FIRST LADY DAYS BEFORE THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER. CHLOE MOLAS EXPLAINS. TONIGHT PRESSURE IS MOUNTING FOR ABC AND DISNEY AFTER AN UNPRECEDENTED MOVE BY.

THE FCC ORDERING ALL 8 DISNEY-OWNED LOCAL. STATIONS AT MAJOR CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. TO FILE EARLY LICENSE RENEWALS YEARS BEFORE THEIR EXPIRATION. IF THE RENEWALS ARE NOT GRANTED, THEY WOULD LOSE THEIR ABILITY TO BROADCAST. TOM WHEELER SERVED AS FCC CHAIRMAN UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA. LET ME BE REAL SPECIFIC. IT HAS BEEN 40 YEARS. SINCE THE FCC. REVOKED A LICENSE,

A BROADCAST TELEVISION LICENSE, THE FCC HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING DISNEY, THE PARENT COMPANY OF ABC, OVER ITS DEI POLICY SINCE LAST YEAR. A SOURCE WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THE MATTER TELLS NBC NEWS THAT KIMMEL'S RECENT. COMMENTS ABOUT THE FIRST LADY WILL NOW BE PART OF THE REVIEW. YOU KNOW HOW SOMETIMES YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND THE FIRST. LADY PUTS OUT A STATEMENT DEMANDING YOU BE FIRED FROM YOUR JOB. JIMMY KIMMEL ADDRESSING THE LATEST CONTROVERSY. WELL, I AGREE THAT HATEFUL AND VIOLENT RHETORIC IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD REJECT.

I DO, AND I THINK A GREAT PLACE TO START TO DIAL THAT BACK. WOULD BE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR HUSBAND ABOUT IT. THIS CLASH STEMMING FROM A JOKE THE LATE NIGHT HOST MADE LAST WEEK IN A SKETCH. ABOUT THE THEN UPCOMING WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' DINNER. OUR FIRST LADY MELANIA IS HERE. LOOK AT, SO BEAUTIFUL. MRS. TRUMP, YOU HAVE A GLOW LIKE AN EXPECTANT WIDOW. KIMMEL NOW DEFENDING HIS WORDS. IT WAS A VERY LIGHT ROAST JOKE ABOUT THE FACT. THAT HE'S ALMOST 80 AND SHE'S YOUNGER THAN I AM. IT WAS NOT. BY ANY STRETCH OF THE DEFINITION,

A CALL TO ASSASSINATION. MELANIA TRUMP CALLED KIMMEL'S WORDS HATEFUL AND VIOLENT RHETORIC, SENTIMENTS ECHOED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO DEMANDED KIMMEL'S DISMISSAL. THE FIRESTORM COMES JUST A MONTH AFTER NEW DISNEY CEO JOSH DEMARO TOOK THE HELM. 7 MONTHS AFTER ABC BRIEFLY SUSPENDED JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE AFTER. CONTROVERSIAL REMARKS ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION. OF CONSERVATIVE ACTIVIST CHARLIE KIRK, IN A STATEMENT TO NBC NEWS, DISNEY SAYS THEY HAVE A LONG RECORD OF OPERATING IN FULL COMPLIANCE WITH FCC RULES.

CHLOE MELAS JOINS US NOW LIVE IN STUDIO. SO CHLOE, TALK TO US. HOW CAN DISNEY DEFEND ITSELF IF THEY DO LOSE THOSE LICENSES? SURE, SO I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT, TOM, THAT THIS ENTIRE PROCESS COULD PLAY OUT IN THE COURT SYSTEM FOR YEARS, AND ULTIMATELY. IF THESE BROADCAST LICENSES WERE NOT TO BE RENEWED, DISNEY COULD APPEAL THIS AND THOSE BROADCAST STATIONS. THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO BROADCAST DURING THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. ALL RIGHT, CHLOE MILOSOS. CHLOE, GOOD TO SEE YOU. THANK YOU. NOW TO THAT HISTORIC VISIT BY KING CHARLES AND QUEEN CAMILLA, INCLUDING A SPEECH TO CONGRESS.
