        "summary": "US authorities are investigating a large '8647' sign on the National Mall near the White House, which some interpret as a coded call to assassinate President Donald Trump. The numbers, combining slang for 'eliminate' and Trump's presidential number, have previously appeared in a criminal case involving former FBI Director James Comey and have been adopted by political opponents as a protest symbol.",
        "content": "<p>United States authorities are investigating a large sign displaying\nthe code \u20188647\u2019 on the grass of the National Mall, near the White House\nin Washington DC. The code has been interpreted by some as a call to\nkill President Donald Trump. Photographs taken at the scene, as reported\nby Reuters and Anadolu Agency on Friday (12 June 2026), show the numbers\n\u201886\u2019 and \u201847\u2019 prominently visible on the grass near the World War II\nMemorial within the National Mall complex. The giant numbers have begun\nto fade but remain visible from the air. In a photograph taken by a\nReuters photographer from atop the Washington Monument, the numbers\neight, six, and seven are still discernible, though the number four is\nno longer clearly visible. US Park Police said officers responded to\nreports of vandalism on the west lawn of the Washington Monument. US\nNational Guard personnel were also deployed to the site. It remains\nunclear exactly how the numbers appeared on the grass and who is\nresponsible for the vandalism. The investigation is being conducted by\nthe US Department of the Interior, which dispatched personnel to the\nlocation for a thorough examination. \u2018The numbers 86 47 were marked in\nthe grass,\u2019 the department said in a statement. \u2018The cause of the\ndiscolouration has not yet been determined. Grass samples have been\ncollected for testing. The investigation is ongoing,\u2019 the statement\nadded. Some people say the number \u201886\u2019 is a code referring to violence,\nwhile others describe it as common slang originating from restaurants,\nmeaning to get rid of, cancel, or discard something. The number \u201847\u2019\nappears to refer to Trump, who is the 47th President of the United\nStates. When the two numbers are combined, some interpret it as \u2018kill\nPresident Trump\u2019. The White House, in a statement, stressed that it\ntakes potential threats seriously. \u2018Anyone involved in or supporting\npolitical violence or a culture of assassination must be condemned in\nthe strongest possible terms,\u2019 White House spokesperson Davis Ingle told\nCBS News. The appearance of the \u20188647\u2019 code is not the first of its\nkind. The number was previously at the centre of a high-profile criminal\ncase involving former FBI Director James Comey, who was charged by\nfederal prosecutors with threatening Trump based on a photo he posted on\nsocial media in 2025 showing seashells arranged on a beach to form the\nnumber \u20188647\u2019. Comey deleted the post and explained he did not realise\nit could be interpreted as a call to violence. Regardless, the number\n\u20188647\u2019 has since been adopted by Trump\u2019s political opponents as a form\nof protest against his administration.<\/p>",
