FBI Director Says There's 'Some Question' Over What Struck Trump's Ear
HuffPost
Christopher Wray suggested that investigators aren't sure "whether or not it's a bullet or shrapnel" that hit Donald Trump in his recent assassination attempt.
FBI Director Christopher Wray suggested that investigators aren’t sure if former President Donald Trump was hit by a bullet or shrapnel during his attempted assassination earlier this month.
Wray testified before Congress on Wednesday about the July 13 attempt on Trump’s life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One rally attendee was killed in the shooting, while two others were injured; Trump said he was struck at the top of his ear.
“There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” Wray said in response to a question about whether all the bullets fired by the shooter had been accounted for.
“It’s conceivable, although as I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we’ve accounted for all of the shots in the cartridges.”
Wray said that authorities had conducted over 400 interviews in their investigation and planned to hold “many more.”
