Former President Donald Trump used his Truth Social platform on Thursday night to tear into FBI Director Christopher Wray after his congressional listening to concerning the assassination try on Trump.
Wray testified that he wasn’t positive if it was a bullet that struck Trump within the ear whereas he was at an outside rally in Butler, Penn., on July 13.
“I think with respect to former President Trump there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that, you know, hit his ear,” Wray mentioned at Wednesday’s listening to.

Trump, who nominated Wray as the FBI director in 2017, went full blast on his former appointee after the listening to.
“FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn’t sure if I was hit by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!), but he was sure that Crooked Joe Biden was physically and cognitively “uneventful” – Wrong!” Trump wrote on his on social media web site.
“That’s why he knows nothing about the terrorists and other criminals pouring into our Country at record levels. His only focus is destroying J6 Patriots, Raiding Mar-a-Lago, and saving Radical Left Lunatics, like the ones now in D.C. burning American flags and spray painting over our great National Monuments – with zero retribution.

“No, it was, sadly, a bullet that hit my ear, and hit it arduous. There was no glass, there was no shrapnel. The hospital referred to as it a “bullet wound to the ear,” and that’s what it was. No surprise the as soon as storied FBI has misplaced the arrogance of America!”
Trump was shot in his right ear at the rally and U.S. Secret Service agents swooped in to surround him, pick him up off the stage and help walk him down the stairs and into a vehicle waiting for him.

The presumed shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot dead by the Secret Service. Two other people were injured from gunfire and former firefighter Corey Comperatore died at the scene while protecting his family.
Trump was treated and released at a nearby hospital and then showed up at the Republican National Convention just days later with a bandage on his ear.
Kimberly Cheatle, who was the director of the Secret Service at the time, faced calls for her resignation, to which she vehemently said she would not step down. After her testimony before Congress this week, Cheatle resigned.
Wray now faces similar scrutiny, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.
“We’ve all seen the video, we’ve seen the evaluation, we’ve heard it from a number of sources in numerous angles that a bullet went by way of his ear. I’m not positive it issues that a lot,” Johnson mentioned on the listening to.

Johnson added that Wray “was not forthcoming with some of the data that we might anticipate.”
“There’s a lot of frustration and concern in regards to the management with these businesses,” Johnson mentioned.
