The FBI clarified Friday that a bullet struck former President Donald Trump during an attempt against his life in a rally on July 13.
An attempted assassin present near a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on July 13 opened fire and injured the former president before he was neutralized by the Secret Service. FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress on Thursday that there were still “some questions” as to what exactly had struck Trump during the assassination attempt, whether it was a “bullet or shrapnel,” though did not directly mention whether glass fragments could be responsible, a theory that has been used by some in the media.
The FBI confirmed in a statement on Friday that it was indeed a bullet that hit Trump.
“What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the FBI told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement.
Trump took to social media on Friday to respond to the FBI’s statement, which was made public to several outlets.
“I assume that’s the best apology that we’ll get from Director Wray, but it is fully accepted!” Trump said in a Truth Social post
