The FBI's director has cast doubt on whether Donald Trump was struck by a bullet during the attempt on his life at a Pennsylvania political rally.
Christopher Wray was updating Congress on the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler on Wednesday when he made the explosive statement.
'There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,' Wray said.
Wray was addressing security failures that allowed gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks to open fire. Crooks, 20, killed firefighter Corey Comperatore, 50, and injured two others including Trump during the shooting.
The presidential hopeful has since given extensive accounts of the moment he was shot and was seen sporting a bandage over his ear.
'When I went down, bullets were coming over my head and you hear them, it's like a zip, zip,' he said.
The former president claims his Secret Service detail 'thought it was over when I went down' because of 'a lot of blood coming' after his ear was grazed.
Trump, 78, argued with his agents, telling them how he was 'not going on a stretcher' and instead vowed to 'get up'.
He added that a last minute turn of the head to glance at a screen is what saved him from the bullet.
'I'm supposed to be dead. The most incredible thing was that I happened to not only turn, but to turn at the exact right time and in just the right amount,' he added, saying he survived 'by luck or by God'.
Some initial reports on the day of the shooting speculated that Trump may have been struck by a shattered piece of glass when a bullet struck the teleprompter.
The teleprompter theory, however, was debunked when photos showed that both glass screens were in tact after the attack.

Wow what a P.O.S.
Although given the fact that this is coming from the same guy that has a record of setting up innocent men in fake kidnapping plots, spying on Catholics at church, raiding the homes of peaceful pro-life activists, terrorizing J6 protesters, and targeting parents at school board meetings.
No surprise...
Wray knows he toast if Trump gets in so he can say anything he wants now.
“Twilight zone.”
Is this the same Director that could not tell that Biden was in decline? Everything was normal with him. What a F#$#King liar!!!
I would hope that the director of the FBI would be able to sit with someone and detect things that are awry, like for example, someone with severe cognitive decline. I agree with Trump, that only calls for his dismissal.
Wray’s appointment was back when Trump listened to Deep state shit like McConnell. I am sure he has learned his lesson.
Besides all that, I have two friends in Arlington that would tell you shrapnel is deadly too.
Taking their position, even to argue against it, gives it credibility. REJECT IT OUT OF HAND INSTREAD.
And here we have an FBI director who never considered that and wouldn’t care if it did cross his mind.
I truly hope you’re kidding. HYPOTHETICAL! You’ve heard of that? It’s sort of like LOGIC! Don’t drop to their level.
