A new analysis of the Pennsylvania rally shooting found evidence that 'strongly suggests' a bullet hit former President Trump's ear; two others came dangerously close to wounding him.
A new look at the attempted assassination of former President Trump at a July 13 campaign rally found that the first of eight bullets fired by gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks likely struck the Republican candidate in the ear, according to a new report. The New York Times reported Friday that its own analysis of bullet trajectory, video, audio and photo evidence 'strongly suggests' that the gunman's first shot 'grazed' Trump's ear.
However, investigators have suggested it may have been debris. 'There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,' FBI Director Christopher Wray testified during a House hearing this week. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday. However, the director's statement prompted a fiery response from Trump himself earlier in the week, when he blasted Wray on his social media platform Truth Social.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Thursday told NBC News evidence showed it was a bullet that went through Trump's ear and that Wray had 'a credibility problem.' 'We've all seen the video we've seen the analysis we've heard it from multiple sources in different angles that a bullet went through his ear,' Johnson said. 'I'm not sure it matters that much.
