FBI Director Christopher Wray kicked a hornet’s nest with remarks this week casting doubt on former President Trump’s claims that he was hit by a bullet in his July 13 assassination attempt.
Speaking before the House Judiciary Committee, Wray said that “with respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that, you know, that hit his ear.”
n another exchange, Wray told Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) either a bullet or a piece of shrapnel “is what grazed [Trump’s] ear.”
Wray’s remarks drew the ire of Trump, who soon after the shooting said he had been hit by a bullet at the Butler, Pa., rally, and has since framed his survival as an act of divine intervention.
The former president, in a lengthy post on Truth Social late Thursday, insisted he was indeed hit by a bullet and slammed the FBI as having “lost the confidence” of the United States.
“No, it was, unfortunately, a bullet that hit my ear, and hit it hard. There was no glass, there was no shrapnel,” Trump posted. “The hospital called it a ‘bullet wound to the ear,’ and that is what it was. No wonder the once storied FBI has lost the confidence of America!”
