The head of the FBI made the stunning assertion Wednesday that former President Donald Trump may not have been struck by an actual bullet when a deranged gunman attempted to assassinate him at a political rally — and was instead injured by shrapnel.

FBI Director Christopher Wray told the House Judiciary Committee in a hearing that it was not clear precisely what caused the injury to Trump’s ear during the shooting.

“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 in response to a question from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).

Jordan had asked about the eight shots fired by the would-be assassin, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, at the doomed Pennsylvania rally on July 13.

“We obviously know that Mr. Comperatore lost his life, two other rally-goers were injured, and then the one that hit President Trump,” Jordan began before asking: “Where did all eight bullets go?”

  • Does this mean Wray can be sued, like Alex Jones, for saying a shooting didn't happen?
  • @devilmonkey
    The dude's trying to cope with how Trump is not dead and how shorting his stock the day before backfired 😂
  • @lumberjack297
    How horrid is the dislike for a man that you can't even acknowledge that he was indeed shot?
  • @Buckoux
    "...some question about whether or not it was a bullet or shrapnel..." Begging the FBI Directors pardon but the bullet from an AR15 is 'Full Metal Jacket (FMJ), why would such a bullet fragment into shrapnel in flight? If that bullet had struck a hard object before Trump's ear it would have tumbled and not fragmented. Even fragmentation ammo needs to strike a solid before fragmenting. The Director is either ignorant or gaslighting the committee...
  • @jamalshamah7280
    He never knows anything, amazing all these directors never know anything 😂 unbelievable
  • @glenhowell6909
    How many times did Wray say "I don't have it in front of me?" What did he have in front of him?
  • @marshamunger6004
    As soon as wray said 'circle back' it's going to be obvious about cover-ups.
  • @inthekitchen8842
    There seems to be quite a few people who don't know anything. It's like they're questioning junior high students. Heads need to roll.
  • @dblvictory
    irrelevant if it was bullet or shrapnel -- he was hit. Period.
  • @ehoffman2260
    I guess Wray doesn’t consider it an assassination attempt if it was shrapnel. It wasn’t shrapnel, but it doesn’t change anything if it was.
  • Wray thinks he has less culpability if plastic hit Trump. That's hilarious! 😂😂
  • They know how many shots , who was shooting and what they hit . If they don’t they have failed again . He knows but won’t tell you .
  • @JohnSmith-il7jn
    You come before Congress prepared to say not much of anything. Hold him in contempt.
  • @pamelascheig324
    “Circle back” he said, we all know which side of the fence he’s on by using that phrase! He’s as evasive as Cheatle, FIRE HIM!
  • @flysolo100
    Wow, what a coinkidink that the only person there to be hit by possible shrapnel was also the target of multiple bullets! Is he a serious person?!
  • @eleanorc.6659
    Wray is such a terrible person. Shrapnel comes from bullets. He should have been able to answer that question. He didn't want to.
