The truth finally comes out.

On Friday, the FBI officially confirmed that a bullet struck former President Donald Trump’s ear during the assassination attempt on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania. This confirmation came just two days after FBI Director Christopher Wray sparked massive controversy and casted doubt on whether the injury was caused by a bullet or shrapnel.

The FBI’s statement clarified, “The injury sustained by former President Trump was indeed caused by a bullet, whether it was a whole bullet or fragmented pieces, fired from the rifle of the deceased suspect.” This announcement settled the uncertainty that had been swirling since Wray’s remarks before the House Judiciary Committee, where he had suggested there was ambiguity regarding the nature of the projectile.

Following Wray’s testimony, Trump expressed strong disapproval on Truth Social, asserting that Wray’s statement was incorrect and criticizing the FBI for its handling of the situation. Trump argued that the FBI had failed to accurately investigate what hit his ear, attributing this lapse to the erosion of public trust in the bureau. He contended that the suggestion that the injury might not have been caused by a bullet was indicative of why the FBI’s reputation had deteriorated.

In the immediate aftermath of the assassination attempt, Trump, who was 78 years old at the time, described the harrowing experience, stating that he “felt the bullet ripping through the skin” as the shots were fired during a rally. His former White House physician, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), who attended to Trump following the incident, also weighed in, stating on Friday that there was “absolutely no evidence” to suggest anything other than a bullet was responsible for Trump’s injury.

Trump responded to the FBI’s clarification by acknowledging Wray’s apology, stating, “I fully accept Director Wray’s apology. I assume this is the best we’ll get, but it is accepted.” Wray, who was appointed by Trump to lead the FBI in 2017, has faced significant scrutiny over his handling of this high-profile case.
