FBI Admits Trump was Struck by Bullet After Initially Claiming Shrapnel (2024-07-26)
FBI Director Christopher Wray testifies before Congress that it remained "unknown" whether Trump was struck by a bullet, shrapnel, or debris. The comment sparks immediate backlash from Trump allies who accuse the FBI of downplaying the assassination attempt. Days later, the FBI is forced to issue a correction, confirming that Trump was indeed struck by a bullet (or a fragment of a bullet). The conflicting statements fuel public distrust and conspiracy theories about what actually happened at Butler.
