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 about the assassination attempt on Trump in Butler on Wednesday when he made the explosive statement.
'With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,' Wray said.
'I don't know right now whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have landed somewhere else.'
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.

The heads of the Secret Service (Cheatle has resigned), FBI’s Wray, and Mayorkas’ Dept of Homeland Security have reportedly declined to testify at the second Congressional hearing into Trump’s attempted assassination.
As of May 23, 2023, the $10 billion tax-subsidized Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had some 10,000 special agents and approximately 35,000 support professionals: intelligence analysts, language specialists, scientists, and information technology specialists.
Now S/S Director Cheatle’s resignation should not deter us from determining the true significance
of the stunning payroll numbers coming out of the Trump shooting debacle.
<><>Cheatle employed 7100 Secret Service Special agents and 2800 Task Force Officers, plus Uniformed Division officers, Technical Law Enforcement officers, and administrative, professional, and technical personnel on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete with perks, privileges, eternal healthcare, bonuses, and pensions.
Roughly half of the Secret Service’s $3 billion budget is spent on protective services. It also has a robust cybercrime division, state-of-the-art forensic labs and a threat-assessment center that studies how to mitigate and train against threats.
<><>Mayorkas heads The Dept of Homeland Security which has more than 260,000 employees in jobs that range from aviation and border security to emergency response, from cybersecurity analyst to chemical facility inspector on the govt payroll as of Jun 11, 2024.
The Homeland Security bill includes $91.515 billion in total discretionary appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security, including $62.793 billion within the bill’s allocation, $5.837 billion in discretionary appropriations offset by fee collections, and a $20.261 billion allocation adjustment for major response events.
<><>Mayorkas’ Homeland Security Investigations division received $2.5 billion tax dollars, an increase of $123 million above fiscal year 2023. The agency apparently “lent” employees to Cheatle and has over 9,800 Special Agents and tactical officers on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete With tax-paid perks privileges healthcare bonuses and pensions.
<><>The Executive Office of the President employs
1800 tax-paid individuals, some 584 in the WH alone on a budget of $714 million.
Yet, Biden, the FBI, Mayorkas and Cheatle denied Trump’s request for increased security. The Biden regime sent $200,000,000,000 tax dollars to Ukraine to protect its people, but could not find the tax dollars to beef up security for a presidential candidate.
Those payroll numbers sound alarmingly suspicious——like the age-old scam of putting phantom names on the payroll with the attendant eye-popping financial windfall, ending with several govt pensions for whoever’s cashing in.
Let’s get Congress to check it out.

Message: Payroll fraud is widespread and easy to pull off on the govt payroll.
There are several methodologies used, including
<><>submitting falsified time sheets,
<><>issuing unauthorized paychecks, healthcare, bonuses, benefits and overtime
<><>enrolling fictitious employees in pension plans.
The govt fraudster simply sets up fictitious employees and arranges for them to receive a salary,
benefits, overtime payments, bonuses and pensions, even though they do not perform any duties.
The fraudster then diverts the fraudulent payments into their bank account or that of an accomplice.
Payroll fraud entails serious crimes.......falsifying govt documents, misappropriation of tax dollars, skimming, larceny, check tampering, check kiting, billing fraud, payroll fraud, reimbursement fraud, pension fraud, misuse of tax dollars, theft of tax dollars, ID fraud, Social Security swindles, IRS fraud.
I question Wray's ability to observe, if he thinks Biden is fine cognitively he's not a very good cop.
So… What does he want us to believe? - that the SS blew that kids head off, because a big mosquito flew into Donald’s ear???
Are they serious??? THEY set this up! FBI, CIA, whatever… they’re ANtI-American bureaus now.
Sounds like Wray Wray gets his info from the lamestream media and not his agents and investigators. From what I and millions of others have seen, there were no glass teleprompters on the stage. The left NEVER thinks things through before they run their lying mouths. That is a message Trump and Vance must get out there to the low information undecideds.
Why the hell do we continue to accept lawyers as the Director of the FBI??? That slot should be limited to professional LE only; someone w/a long history that includes carrying a firearm and “walking a beat” in their career (i.e.: someone w/a history like Bernie Kerik)
If Trump doesn’t at least fire Wray, it will be a shock.
That wouldn’t be a part of a full house cleaning of the swamp, that would be fully expected even on a short list. The other side can frame it up subjectively as ‘retaliation’ all they want. On an objective level he has proven to politically complimentary to one party and detrimental to another one, and that is not in his job description.
When democrats take power they clean house every time.
The pussyfooting by republicans makes me ill.
I guess you don’t know the meaning of “insinuated”.
Billions in funding, tens of thousands of employees, and they can’t do the assassination investigation in less that 2 months? That’s government for you, government incompetence.
He bought into Mikey Steele and LIttle Keiff Olbermanns expertise of “assault” teleprompters.
“If it was 130 yds DLOS, why would there be ‘shrapnel?’ Comment of Wray’s goes in the same basket as Cheatle’s “sloped roof” explanation.“
They count on a substantial percentage of Americans being ignorant and just buying whatever they’re told. -Years of conditioning by CNN/MSNBC…
“I guess you don’t know the meaning of “insinuated”.”
I guess you don’t understand plain English.
The person would not have been behind him, the shots did not come from the front. The shot came from Trump’s right and was aimed right at his right temple. It was intended to remove his brains on nationwide TV. They failed when Trump turned slightly to the right to read from an illegal immigration levels chart on a large LED screen to his right. The left failed by only a 1/4 inch or so.
I hope Wray has sent his resume in to Disney, or some other company that deals in fantasy.
And w/ all their billions, the S/S doesnt even have
an agent brave enough to climb a “sloped roof.”
The bullets DID NOT come from in front of the stage (so OF COURSE no one behind him was hit.. Came from the side, all 3 other people struck were very close to the line going from the shooter , past Trump and into the small angled stand to left (Trump’s left) and slightly behind Trump). Look at the full chart or photo of the stage area.
political hack offers dem talking point in testimony
not stupid
evil
wray is a political hack
Another good answer.
“BEHIND TRUMP” ….please clarify whether you mean
1. Behind Trump as he faces the CROWD or
2. Behind Trump as he faces the big CHART
Two radically different definitions of “behind.” Different by 90 degrees. The shooter was NOT in front of the podium, he shot from the SIDE of the stage.so additional victims were seated to the opposite side of the PODIUM from were the shot originated on the other flank of the stage.
Even if he was not actually struck by it, this doesn't alter the fact that he was shot at, and it was a true miracle that he survived.
The government tried to kill him and merely chose a poor vessel to carry out their plans.
Had they succeeded, we would be living in a completely different world.
