FBI confirms bullet hit Trump’s ear in assassination attempt, Trump criticizes FBI director for not being sure before

Donald Trump’s ear was indeed hit by a bullet during the assassination attempt against him on July 13 (US time).

This detail was confirmed in an FBI statement on July 26, as reported CNNwho said :

“What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, either whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased’s rifle.”

This prompted the presidential candidate to challenge FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The latter had previously testified that it remained unclear what Trump was hit with at the fateful rally in Pennsylvania, which left two spectators injured and one dead.

Trump hits back

Trump drew attention to Wray’s testimony to Congress on July 24 (US time), where Wray outlined the FBI’s investigation into the incident.

“FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn’t sure if I was hit by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!),” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.

Wray said the FBI was still examining bullet fragments found at the scene to determine what actually hit Trump.

As for Trump, he has no doubts: “There was no glass, no shrapnel. The hospital said it was a ‘gunshot wound to the ear,’ and that was it.”

“It’s no wonder the once-famous FBI has lost America’s trust!” he said.

Trump himself nominated Wray as FBI director in 2017.

Trump’s ex-doctor weighs in

Trump was endorsed by Ronny Jackson, his former White House physician and a staunch Trump supporter.

“There is absolutely no evidence that this was anything other than a bullet,” Jackson wrote in a letter published on Truth Social, where he disputed Wray’s testimony.

He implored Congress to “correct the facts as confirmed” by the hospital and himself.

He also concluded that Wray was “wrong and wrong” to suggest that it was not a bullet that hit Trump in the ear.

“It was unfortunately a bullet that hit my ear, and it hit it hard,” Trump repeated.
