Doctor Affirms Trump Was Shot Amid Controversial Assassination Allegations

In a recent memorandum, Dr. Sean Conley, former White House physician to Donald Trump, detailed the circumstances surrounding the former president's injury during a shooting incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13. Conley stated that a would-be assassin fired multiple rounds from a high-powered rifle, with one bullet striking Trump in the right ear. He emphasized that there is no evidence to support alternative theories regarding the nature of the injury, urging Congress to correct the record in light of his findings and those from the hospital. The controversy intensified following comments made by FBI Director Christopher Wray during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. Wray expressed uncertainty about whether Trump was hit by a bullet or shrapnel, suggesting that the injury might not have been as severe as reported. When pressed on the specifics of the incident, Wray stated he could not confirm the exact distance from which the bullet was fired. In response, Trump publicly refuted Wray's claims, asserting that he was indeed struck by a bullet and dismissing the possibility of shrapnel or glass being involved. He criticized the FBI for not conducting a thorough investigation into the incident, reiterating that the injury was serious and required medical attention. As the FBI seeks to interview Trump for a victim statement, Dr. Conley has reported that the former president is "rapidly recovering" from his injuries, maintaining that the bullet came dangerously close to causing more severe harm.
