FBI Director Christopher Wray said during a Congressional Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday that investigators still do not know if Trump was grazed by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel during his attempted assassination on July 13.
Twice during the hearing, Wray told lawmakers that the FBI was still trying to determine what exactly hit Trump’s ear.
“My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” Wray told Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA).
Gym Jordan also asked whether the FBI had determined where all eight bullets had landed.
Wray again said there was a question whether a bullet that possibly that grazed Trump’s ear could have ended up hitting another target.
Miraculously, Gym Jordan shut up, and did not continue down the line of questioning about shrapnel.
Days later at the Republican National Convention, Trump told the cult, “I heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me really, really hard on my right ear.”
Trump’s former White House physician, Rep. Ronny
JohnsonJackson (R-TX), later told a conservative talk show that he examined the wound in the days immediately after the shooting. “It [the bullet] was far enough away from his head that there was no concussive effect from the bullet, and it just took the top of his ear off.”
During the hearing, Trump posted to Truth Social, calling for Wray to resign, but not for anything he said regarding the assassination attempt.
Trump was upset that the FBI director claimed that he found his interactions with President Biden “uneventful and unremarkable.”
It was Matt Gaetz who orchestrated a psy-op that Wray must have witnessed President Biden’s cognitive decline during his official actions with the President. Wray swatted away the line of questioning.
