Evidence Suggests Trump Was Close to Being Hit by a Bullet at Pennsylvania Rally
- An analysis of a shooting incident at a Pennsylvania rally indicates that former President Trump may have been narrowly missed by a bullet.
- The findings assert that two additional bullets also came dangerously close to injuring him.
- This revelation raises serious concerns about the safety of political figures during public events.
In a recent analysis of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump during a July 13 campaign rally, new evidence suggests that the first of eight bullets fired by gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks may have struck Trump in the ear. Photographs taken shortly after the incident show Trump bleeding from the right side of his head, and he has consistently maintained that he was hit by a bullet. A memo from Dr. Ronny Jackson, Trump's former physician, confirmed that medical records indicated treatment for a "gunshot wound to the right ear." Despite this assertion, investigators have raised doubts about the nature of Trump's injury, with FBI Director Christopher Wray stating during a House hearing that it remains unclear whether the injury was caused by a bullet or shrapnel. This statement has sparked controversy, as Jackson firmly disagreed, asserting that there is no evidence to support the shrapnel theory. Trump's response to Wray's comments was vehement, criticizing the FBI director on his social media platform for not definitively identifying the cause of his injury. House Speaker Mike Johnson also weighed in, asserting that evidence supports the claim that a bullet passed through Trump's ear, suggesting that Wray may have a "credibility problem." Meanwhile, the FBI continues to focus on understanding the motives of Crooks, the 20-year-old assailant, emphasizing that the shooting was an attempted assassination that resulted in serious injuries and the death of one of Trump's supporters.
