N early two weeks after Donald Trump’s near assassination, the FBI confirmed that a bullet struck the former president's ear, clearing up conflicting accounts about the incident at a Pennsylvania rally.
In a statement, the FBI said, “What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle.”
This confirmation follows ambiguous comments from FBI Director Christopher Wray, which led to conspiracy theories and criticism from Trump and his allies. Trump, speaking in West Palm Beach, Florida, acknowledged the FBI's statement and criticized the initial doubts about the nature of his injuries.
The July 13 attack left Trump with a 2 cm wide wound on his right ear, as described by former White House doctor Ronny Jackson, who has been treating Trump. Despite the FBI's confirmation, there is ongoing tension between Trump and federal law enforcement.
Attorney-General Merrick Garland labeled the Sinaloa Cartel, associated with Trump’s shooter, as one of the most violent drug trafficking organizations. The FBI continues to investigate bullet fragments and evidence from the scene.
