During his testimony in front of Congress, FBI Director Christopher Wray left open the possibility Donald Trump wasn’t hit by a bullet.
Wray said, “As I said, I think with respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear. So it’s conceivable, as I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet in addition to, you know, causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we’ve accounted for all of the shots in the cartridges.”
One day after FBI Director Christopher Wray left open the possibility that a gunman’s bullet may not have struck former President Donald Trump, a liberal news outlet is picking up the idea and running with it.
Under the banner headline “Donald Trump Might Not Have Been Shot After All,” Newsweek national correspondent Khaleda Rahman reviews Wray’s comments on Wednesday before a House oversight hearing where he provided an update on the FBI’s investigation into the Secret Service’s failure to protect President Trump from a 20-year-old deranged gunman. In his remarks, the Bureau chief said it remains unclear whether Trump was struck in the right ear with a round from the gunman’s AR-15 rifle or injured by shrapnel, possibly from a teleprompter screen that was also struck. Following the shooting Trump told his followers on Truth Social that he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.”

In between grillings by his colleagues, Oversight Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) asked the director, “We obviously know that Mr. Comperatore lost his life…two other rallygoers were injured, seriously injured, and then the one that hit President Trump. Does that account for…were some of these individuals hit multiple times?” Jordan asked. “Where did all eight bullets go, is I guess my question.”
Wray did not have the answer but stated, “As I said, I think with respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear. So it’s conceivable, as I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet in addition to, you know, causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we’ve accounted for all of the shots in the cartridges.”
Trump blasted Wray saying, “No, it was, unfortunately, a bullet that hit my ear, and hit it hard. There was no glass, there was no shrapnel. The hospital called it a “bullet wound to the ear,” and that is what it was. No wonder the once storied FBI has lost the confidence of America!”
FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn’t sure if I was hit by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!), but he was sure that Crooked Joe Biden was physically and cognitively “uneventful” – Wrong! That’s why he knows nothing about the terrorists and other criminals pouring into our Country at record levels. His only focus is destroying J6 Patriots, Raiding Mar-a-Lago, and saving Radical Left Lunatics, like the ones now in D.C. burning American flags and spray painting over our great National Monuments – with zero retribution. No, it was, unfortunately, a bullet that hit my ear, and hit it hard. There was no glass, there was no shrapnel. The hospital called it a “bullet wound to the ear,” and that is what it was. No wonder the once storied FBI has lost the confidence of America!
