FBI Director Christopher Wray has expressed questions about whether Donald Trump was shot during an attempted assassination at a Pennsylvania campaign rally.
During his hearing before the US House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Wray said that the FBI was still examining whether shrapnel or a bullet impacted Trump’s ear during the incident.
“With regard to former President Trump, it’s unclear whether he was injured by a bullet or shrapnel. I’m not sure right now if that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have landed somewhere else,” he said in response to senators’ inquiry about whether the FBI knew where all eight bullets fired by 20-year-old shooter Thomas Crooks at the rally ended up. “My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” according to him.
FBI reveals shooter googled ‘How far away was Oswald from Kennedy’ Initial reports on the day of the shooting stated that Trump was injured by a fragment of glass when a bullet struck the teleprompter. This view was challenged when photos revealed that both glass screens remained undamaged during the attack. Wray also disclosed that the gunman had looked into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy before to the act. Wray stated that a week before the shooting, the gunman searched the internet for “How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?”
