On Friday the Federal Bureau of Investigation, former US president Donald Trump was hit by an assassin’s bullet or a piece of one.
The FBI said in a statement, ‘What struck former President Donald Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle’.
It may be recalled here, Trump’s right ear was covered in blood on July 13 after he was injured during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The FBI considered the assault in which a gunman fired eight bullets from outside the event’s security perimeter an assassination attempt.
However, FBI chief Christopher Wray earlier told US lawmakers that there was some doubt as to whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that, you know, that hit his ear.
‘With respect to former president Trump, there’s some question about whether it was a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear’, Wray said Representative Jim Jordan during the testimony.
‘As I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet in addition to causing the grazing, could have landed somewhere else’, he added. Following the statement from the FBI, Donald Trump has long alleged is part of a deep state conspiring against him the Republican posted on his Truth Social platform, ‘I assume that’s the best apology that we’ll get from Director Wray, but it is fully accepted!’.
