Donald Trump has slammed the FBI as the agency confirmed it is probing whether he was actually hit by a bullet during an assassination attempt.
The presidential hopeful blasted the bureau’s director Christopher Wray, after he suggested that it could have been shrapnel which grazed Trump’s ear following the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.
WHAT FBI SAYS
The FBI has since confirmed it is examining fragments found near the stage to determine what caused the Republican nominee’s injuries, after Wray told a congressional hearing there is ‘some question’ over what really happened.
The agency is hoping to interview Trump as part of its investigation, the New York Times Reports.
However, the former president has remained defiant in his account of events, stating it was a ‘bullet that hit my ear, and hit it hard’.
TRUMP SLAMS FBI
In a furious post on Truth Social, Trump blasted Wray’s suggestion and took aim at his judgement on other topical issues – including Biden’s mental state.
‘FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn’t sure if I was hit by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!),’ he fumed.
‘But he was sure that Crooked Joe Biden was physically and cognitively ‘uneventful’ – Wrong! That’s why he knows nothing about the terrorists and other criminals pouring into our Country at record levels.
Trump continued, ‘His only focus is destroying J6 Patriots, Raiding Mar-a-Lago, and saving Radical Left Lunatics, like the ones now in D.C. burning American flags and spray painting over our great National Monuments – with zero retribution.
‘No, it was, unfortunately, a bullet that hit my ear, and hit it hard. There was no glass, there was no shrapnel.
‘The hospital called it a “bullet wound to the ear,” and that is what it was. No wonder the once storied FBI has lost the confidence of America!’
