FBI director casts doubt on whether Trump was struck by bullet

FBI Director Christopher Wray questioned whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet or shrapnel during the assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally.

Speaking to Congress, Wray addressed security failures that allowed gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks to kill firefighter Corey Comperatore and injure two others, including Trump.

Trump described the incident, recalling the sound of bullets and insisting he was grazed by one. Initial reports of shattered glass were debunked as the teleprompters were intact.

Wray revealed Crooks had researched President Kennedy’s assassination a week before, indicating premeditation.

The FBI is investigating the attack as domestic terrorism but has struggled to uncover Crooks’ motive, the Daily Mail has reported.

The congressional hearing, initially for FBI oversight, focused on the shooting. Wray stated he hadn’t observed cognitive decline in President Biden, prompting Trump to demand his resignation.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned over security lapses at the rally, where Crooks managed to fire eight shots before being killed by a sniper.
