FBI Confirms Donald Trump Was Hit By Bullet In Assassination Attempt

Trump's right ear was covered in blood on July 13 after he was injured during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

Former US president Donald Trump was indeed hit by an assassin's bullet or a fragment of one, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said Friday, putting to rest questions over the nature of the Republican candidate's wounding at a campaign rally this month.

"What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject's rifle," the FBI said in a statement.
