FBI Director: Some Questions About Whether Trump Was Hit by Bullet or Shrapnel
For anyone interested in the context behind Wray's statements and the details of the investigation into Trump's injury, here's everything you need to know.
FBI Director Christopher Wray expressed uncertainty about the cause of Donald Trump's ear injury from the attempted assassination at a Pennsylvania rally during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee. Wray stated, "With respect to former President Trump, there is some question as to whether it was a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear" (via The New Republic).
According to Wray, the suspect, Thomas Crooks, had been searching online for information about the JFK assassination a week before the incident and became fixated on Trump. Crooks allegedly used a drone to monitor the rally area about two hours before the shooting. He then positioned himself on a nearby rooftop with an AR-15-style rifle and fired eight shots. The strike hit Trump in the ear, killing one rallygoer and wounding two others.
