The FBI confirmed that a bullet struck Donald Trump’s ear during an assassination attempt at a campaign rally this month. The statement comes after FBI Director Christopher Wray initially suggested it could have been shrapnel. The gunman, identified as Thomas Crooks, was shot and killed after opening fire at the rally in Pennsylvania. Republican lawmakers, including Trump, criticized Wray’s initial remarks, with Trump accepting the FBI’s statement as an apology. House Speaker Mike Johnson also criticized Wray’s testimony, while Sen. Lindsey Graham urged him to revise his remarks. The House approved a resolution to create a bipartisan task force to investigate the assassination attempt. Graham expressed relief that the FBI confirmed it was a bullet that struck Trump’s ear and criticized Wray for suggesting otherwise.
