On July 13, an assassination attempt was made on US presidential candidate Donald Trump in the United States. Almost two weeks later, in On Friday, July 26, the FBI gave a definitive answer as to what wounded the politician.

FBI agents confirmed that it was a bullet. Earlier, Bureau Director Christopher Wray questioned this version.

Trump's ear was clearly hit by a bullet

The FBI statement consists of one sentence. It comes shortly after controversial comments by Wray began circulating in the US earlier this week that cast doubt on whether Trump was actually hit by a bullet.

What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, either intact or fragmented, fired from the deceased's (the attacker's – Channel 24) rifle, the agency said in a statement.

The politician's doctor also responded to the FBI director's comments, insisting that “there is absolutely no evidence that Trump was struck by anything other than a bullet” and saying that “it would be wrong and inappropriate to suggest anything else.”

The FBI director's comment outraged Trump and his allies, and, as the AP says, “further fueled conspiracy theories that have flourished on both sides of the political aisle amid the information shortage since the July 13 attack.”

“So far, federal law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation, including the FBI and Secret Service, have refused to provide information about what caused Trump's injuries. Trump's team has also refused to release medical records from the hospital where he was first treated,” the publication added.

By the way, on Friday, July 26, Trump appeared for the first time without a bandage on his right ear. His photos and videos show no signs of prolonged bleeding, or clear holes or wounds. The first medical information about Trump's condition emerged only a week after the shooting: the bullet that hit Trump “created a 2-centimeter-wide wound that extended into the cartilaginous surface of his ear.” The politician even underwent a CT scan at the hospital. But at the time, federal law enforcement agencies refused to confirm the information, and FBI Director Wray's comments sparked controversy because of it.

“Trump appointed Wray as FBI director in 2017 to replace the fired James Comey. But the then-president quickly backed out of his hiring as the bureau continued its investigation into Russian election interference. Trump openly flirted with the idea of ​​firing Wray as his term neared its end, and he pounced again after the FBI executed a search warrant at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida to seize boxes of classified documents from his presidency,” the AP added.
