FBI director's gives a shocking testimony that Trump might not have been hit by a bullet if

FBI Director Chris Wray testified Wednesday that the former president might have been hit by shrapnel in the July 13 assassination attempt.

In response to FBI Director Christopher Wray’s hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, House Speaker Mike Johnson pushed back against the possibility that former President Donald Trump was not hit by a gunshot directly during the assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.

In his testimony on Wednesday regarding his agency’s investigation into the assassination attempt, Wray—whom Trump appointed to lead the FBI in 2017—stated, “I think with respect to former President Trump there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that, you know, hit his ear.” He noted that the FBI is in charge of the shooting investigation, and it is “very much ongoing.”

Johnson said he didn’t find Wray’s testimony credible.

“We’ve all seen the video, we’ve seen the analysis, we’ve heard it from multiple sources in different angles that a bullet went through his ear. I’m not sure it matters that much,” Johnson said.

He also said Wray “was not forthcoming with some of the information that we would expect.”

According to Johnson, there is a great deal of dissatisfaction and worry with the leadership of these institutions, which likely includes the Secret Service as well.

“Anyone who believes this conspiracy bullshit is either mentally deficient or wilfully peddling falsehoods for political reasons,” tweeted Steven Cheung, a spokesman for the Trump campaign, in addition to attacking Wray.

The doctors who treated the former president were not made available to address enquiries, and he has not disclosed any medical documents from the hospital where he was hospitalised following the shooting. A letter written by former White House physician Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, was made public by the Trump campaign.

Jackson attacked Wray harshly in an X statement. His credibility has been severely damaged by his careless suggestion that Trump may not have been shot. I saw the wound; it was caused by a gunshot. Pathetic!!!” he stated in the post, using all capital letters for the latter two phrases.

Jackson said in the July 20 letter released by the campaign that he’d evaluated and treated Trump’s wound “daily” since the shooting.

“As reported and witnessed by the entire world, he sustained a gunshot wound to the right ear from a high-powered rifle used by the would be assassin,” Jackson said in the letter.

“The bullet track produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear,” the letter said, adding that there “was initially significant bleeding,” but given “the broad and blunt nature of the wound itself, no sutures were required.”

Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., called Wray’s testimony “noteworthy,” and said Trump “owes it to the American people to be honest, and to say exactly what happened.”

“We have not seen any medical records. We have not had a an independent doctor other than a hyper-partisan, elected member of Congress comment on what happened,” Goldman said.

Wray’s claim in his hearing on Wednesday that he had not observed any cognitive decline in his interactions with President Joe Biden infuriated Trump.

In a social media post, Trump stated, “Wray has to resign, and NOW, for LYING TO CONGRESS!” He continued, “Anybody can see that Joe Biden is cognitively and physically challenged, and if you can’t see that, you sure as hell can’t be running the FBI!”
