The FBI announced on Friday that former President Donald Trump was indeed struck by a bullet, or a fragment of it, during an assassination attempt at his July 13 rally. This statement from federal law enforcement provides the most direct confirmation of the nature of Trump's injury.
Previously, there had been some uncertainty among law enforcement officials regarding whether Trump was hit by a bullet or shrapnel. FBI Director Wray had testified to Congress about the ambiguity surrounding the incident. However, the latest statement from the FBI clarifies that what struck Trump in the ear was indeed a bullet, whether whole or fragmented.
