FBI Director raises doubts on whether Donald Trump's ear was grazed by bullet during assassination attempt

Hindustan Times  

FBI Director Christopher Wray has expressed doubts over if Donald Trump was shot in the course of an attempted assassination at a Pennsylvania political rally. FBI Director Christopher Wray appears before the House Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on July 24, 2024. During his testimony to the US House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Wray disclosed that the FBI was still investigating whether it was some shrapnel or bullet that struck Trump's ear during the shooting. A week prior to the shooting, Wray claimed that the gunman searched online, “How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?” On November 22, 1963, shooter Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy from a sniper's position in Dallas.
