FBI Confirms Trump Was Hit By Bullet At Rally

Donald Trump to testify in New York civil fraud trial

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.

Despite differing opinions from various officials, Trump himself has maintained that he was hit by a bullet and not by shrapnel or glass. He emphasized this on social media, stating that there was no shrapnel or glass involved in the incident.

Former White House physician Rep. Ronny Jackson, who has been closely monitoring Trump's condition since the attempt on his life, affirmed that there is no evidence to suggest anything other than a bullet caused the injury. Jackson criticized FBI Director Wray for suggesting otherwise, asserting that it was inappropriate to question the nature of the object that hit Trump.

With the FBI's confirmation, the details surrounding the assassination attempt on Donald Trump have become clearer, putting an end to the speculation about the cause of his injury.
