Following the near assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, the FBI confirmed that a bullet struck his ear during a rally in Pennsylvania. The agency clarified conflicting accounts and stated that the bullet, whether whole or fragmented, was fired from the deceased subject's rifle.
Director Christopher Wray's earlier ambiguous comments had raised doubts about Trump being hit by a bullet, leading to frustration from Trump and his allies. The lack of information post-attack fueled conspiracy theories on both sides of the political spectrum.
