| 0:00.0 | Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. |
| 0:04.0 | Former FBI director James Comey has been indicted again, this time over a social media photo of seashells, |
| 0:11.0 | arranged on a beach that officials say constituted a threat against President Trump. |
| 0:16.0 | In a video statement, Comey says he is innocent. |
| 0:19.0 | It's really important that all of us remember this is not who we are as a country, this is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to be, and the good news is we get closer every day to restoring those values. |
| 0:32.6 | Comey says he assumed the arrangement of shells reading 86-47 was a political message, |
| 0:38.3 | not a call to violence against Trump, the 47th president. |
| 0:42.1 | It's the second criminal case the Justice Department has brought against Comey. |

| 1:23.5 | Holt says that unlike some of the prior assassination attempts against Trump, the writings do not indicate that Allen was immersed in extreme or conspiracist information systems online. |
| 1:33.7 | Odette Yusuf, NPR News. |
| 1:35.2 | The United Arab Emirates has announced it will leave OPEC, dealing a blow to the oil cartel and its leader, Saudi Arabia. |
| 1:42.5 | The UAE has long wanted to produce more oil than OPEC |
| 1:46.0 | permitted, as NPR's Kamila Dominovsky explains. Individually, each country wants to produce as much |
| 1:52.1 | oil as they can to make as much money as they can. But if every country did that, they would |
| 1:57.1 | oversupply the market and crash prices. So they try to aim for a sweet spot, |
