FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during a marathon testimony on Wednesday that investigators still do not know if former President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel during his attempted assassination.
Twice during the hours-long session, Wray told lawmakers that the FBI was still working to determine what exactly struck the former president on his right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” Wray told Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA).
I think it’s worthy of an article because I remember hearing initially, right after the shooting, that it wasn’t quite known if he was actually hit by a bullet or shrapnel. This tells me this is still the case and there hasn’t been a definitive answer given.
I wonder if the doctors who treated him know? Is it possible to determine based on the injury if it was a bullet vs shrapnel?
I don’t think so, unless they found a piece of glass in his ear. Word on the street is a teleprompter, but I don’t know if there’s even any evidence of that. Or of anything else being hit and becoming shrapnel. That would really be the way to tell.
