Donald Trump Blasts FBI For Probing If He Was Really Shot During Assassination Attempt

Former US president, Donald Trump has slammed the FBI as the agency confirmed it is probing if he was actually hit by a bullet during an assassination attempt.

This comes after bureau’s director Christopher Wray had suggested that it could have been shrapnel that grazed Trump’s ear following the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The FBI has since confirmed it is examining fragments found near the stage to determine what caused the Republican nominee’s injuries after Wray told a congressional hearing there is ‘some question’ over what really happened.

Wray was updating Congress about the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler on Wednesday when he made the explosive statement.

‘With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,’ Wray said.

‘I don’t know right now whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have landed somewhere else.’

Wray also addressed security failures that allowed gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks to open fire. Crooks, 20, killed firefighter Corey Comperatore, 50, and injured two others including Trump during the shooting.

The agency is hoping to interview Trump as part of its investigation, the New York Times Reports.

However, in a furious post on Truth Social, Trump blasted Wray’s suggestion.

‘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!),’ he fumed.

He also took aim at his judgement on other topical issues including Biden’s mental state

‘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!’
