Former President Donald Trump was confirmed to have been struck by a bullet in the ear during an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, the FBI stated. This revelation came following conflicting accounts and ambiguous comments from FBI Director Christopher Wray, fueling conspiracy theories. Trump’s allies criticized the lack of definitive information from law enforcement officials, with the former president himself providing updates on his condition through social media and his former doctor, Ronny Jackson. Despite initial reluctance, the FBI clarified that Trump was indeed hit by a bullet after examining evidence from the scene.
The incident, which resulted in a heroic father’s death and injuries to other victims, has sparked tensions between Trump and the FBI. Trump has accused federal law enforcement of bias against him, although Wray has denied these claims. Questions about the extent of Trump’s injuries emerged after the attack, with Trump’s campaign and law enforcement officials withholding information.
Jackson, who has treated Trump since the shooting, maintained that the former president was hit by a bullet and criticized conspiracy theories suggesting otherwise. Efforts to confirm the nature of Trump’s wound were further complicated by conflicting statements and the FBI’s shooting reconstruction team continuing its investigation. Trump and his allies have called for clarity, with Senator Lindsey Graham urging Wray to correct his testimony. The lack of transparency from the FBI has led to mistrust from Trump’s campaign and supporters, emphasizing the need for definitive information surrounding the attempted assassination.
