“What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the agency said in a statement. Trump later shared that a bullet pierced part of his ear during the assassination attempt. Trump and his supporters have for years accused federal law enforcement of being weaponized against him, something Wray has consistently denied. “There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” Wray said, before he seemed to suggest it was indeed a bullet. Trump appointed Wray as FBI director in 2017 to replace the fired James Comey.
