FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during a marathon testimony on Wednesday that investigators still do not know if former President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel during his attempted assassination.

Twice during the hours-long session, Wray told lawmakers that the FBI was still working to determine what exactly struck the former president on his right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” Wray told Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA).

    I don’t understand why this is news worthy. Like even if they prove it wasn’t a bullet, what does this change?

      You are right. It is a sensationalist headline that people will click on (or not click on and use to justify their existing view/conspiracy theory).

    You know if this was a Democrat candidate, they’d have to launch 20 new Fox News channels to fit in all the conspiracy theories about how this was fake…why aren’t we treating them the same?

    For someone as narcissistic as Trump, the fact there isn’t a 5 hour documentary and 600 media posts detailing his time in hospital, the state of his ear, T-shirts with his X-ray and MRi and ultrasound of his ear, and 3d print of the ear as a collectible wall mount etc is what is actually odd about the whole thing.

    He’s making money off of two perfect once in a lifetime photo shots though.

    This feels like a click baity title. They know he was shot, not some conspiracy of something else.
