After Floating Shrapnel Conspiracy Theory, FBI Now Says a Bullet Struck President Trump’s Ear – Trump Responds
The FBI is now saying Trump’s ear was indeed struck by a bullet on July 13 after a gunman opened fire on him during his Butler, Pennsylvania rally.
“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,” the FBI said in its statement.
“The FBI’s Shooting Reconstruction Team continues to examine evidence from the scene, including bullet fragments, and the investigation remains ongoing.”
FBI Statement out this hour — attributable to the agency and not a specific person:
“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.”
