FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during a marathon testimony on Wednesday that investigators still do not know if former President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel during his attempted assassination.
Twice during the hours-long session, Wray told lawmakers that the FBI was still working to determine what exactly struck the former president on his right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” Wray told Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA).
I don’t understand why this is news worthy. Like even if they prove it wasn’t a bullet, what does this change?
Because he and many lazy outlets are reporting he was definitely shot or hit by a bullet.
This is newsworthy because it’s clarifying a misconception that is going around and is being amplified by the trump team because it makes him seem more “badass” and “hard to kill”.
Aye, it doesn’t really feel relevant. He was injured as a result of gunfire.
You are right. It is a sensationalist headline that people will click on (or not click on and use to justify their existing view/conspiracy theory).
