“There is some question about whether or not it was a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday.

FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during a marathon testimony on Wednesday that investigators still do not know if former President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel during his attempted assassination.

Twice during the hours-long session, Wray told lawmakers that the FBI was still working to determine what exactly struck the former president on his right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” Wray told Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA).

    There’s video footage and a known location of the spot the guy shot from.

    All this hesitation is telling me is that it’s confirmed it was not a bullet but Trump likes saying it is and they don’t feel like pushing against it.

    As far as I can tell from the video there’s not a moment where a bullet coming from his far right (heh) could have grazed his ear (that’s particoularly close to his skull) without piercing his skull. He never turns that much to the right.
