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.

Headline does not match article.
HUH? Did you read the article?
Does it matter? And wouldn’t the ET doctor be able to corroborate either way?
Wray is a POS.
There was no shrapnel from the teleprompter because neither teleprompter was hit.
Applying the same logic, Reagan wasn’t shot either. He was wounded by fragments of shrapnel after the bullet struck the car.
Wray is Trump’s appointee: he needs to make better appointments in some cases.
Wow Wray trying to poo poo Trump’s injury. The shooter got off 8 shots of a former President. Instead of being outraged he has to try and make it look like it was nothing but a nick.
So imagine his testimony if it had been Biden or Kamala.
Wray gun is an azzhat, just sayin’.
Trump was forced to appoint certain folks by the Rino’s and McConnell. If he didn’t do what they wanted, they wouldn’t pass his agenda, etc.
The Doc already said it was a bullet.
in other words he’s saying, we missed this time. We’ll do better the next time.
Wray, the same corrupt POS that believes Antifa is just an idea and not a group. That SOB needs to be in jail, not leading an organization that has become worse than the mob ever was.
He gets fired next January….
This does not alter the fact that an attempt was made on former President Trump's life with bullets fired and that the DC bureaucracy utterly failed in their responsibility and have been in cover-up mode ever since - including Wray's FBI.
He needs to stop listening to fat pigs like Christie. That disgusting pile of filth recommended Wray before Christie was exposed
I’d fire this mother Fr with malice first chance I had!!
No good _ _ _ _sucker!!!!
You should expect that kind of crap from the Official Trump Hater of the FBI. Wray is full of crap. Does it make any difference? There was an assassination attempt of a former President of the United States. Do your friggin’ job. John Kerry shot himself in the ass with an M-79 Grenade Launcher. They still gave him a Purple Heart for it.
He’ll resign so he keeps his pension.
