Bullet confirmed as cause of Donald Trump’s ear injury by FBI

The FBI confirmed that former President Donald Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet during an attempted assassination at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. The agency stated that the bullet, fired from the shooter’s rifle, caused the injury. Questions and conspiracy theories arose after reports suggested that Trump was hit by glass fragments instead of a bullet. FBI Director Chris Wray initially expressed uncertainty about the source of Trump’s injury. The delay in confirming the bullet wound led to criticism from GOP lawmakers and Trump supporters. Trump himself described feeling the bullet ripping through his skin during the incident. His former White House doctor also dismissed claims that the injury was caused by shrapnel rather than a bullet. The shooting resulted in the death of a bystander and injuries to other victims. The FBI recovered eight cartridges at the scene, indicating multiple shots were fired. Trump’s acknowledgement of the assassination attempt has sparked discussion of the events surrounding the rally.
