After months of online speculation, former FBI Director James Comey has confirmed that a "secret" Twitter account does belong to him.
The alias "Reinhold Niebuhr" account posted a series of mysterious images of Mr Comey on Monday.
They were taken in Iowa, fuelling some light-hearted speculation that he could be considering a 2020 presidential bid.
Mr Comey was fired by the US president in May, while investigating links between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The Trump administration said he was "terminated and removed from office" over his handling over the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.
The images' references to the US state of Iowa caused some users to share the images, joking that: "He's running!"
The state is traditionally a prominent stop for candidates in US presidential elections.

from the law.
Only in modern America would being fired for genuine cause be grounds to run for president. Speaks to how low we have sunk.
I really dislike this guy and hope he gets his comeuppance.
