Former President Donald Trump fired back at FBI Director Christopher Wray after Wray questioned whether he was actually struck by a bullet during an assassination attempt that took place at a campaign rally earlier this month.

Trump shared a post on his Truth Social account responding to Wray's public statement, which also threw a jab at President Joe Biden after Biden announced his decision to end his 2024 re-election campaign.

“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. "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, unfortunately, a bullet that hit my ear, and hit it hard. There was no glass, there was no shrapnel. The hospital called it a 'bullet wound to the ear,' and that is what it was. No wonder the once storied FBI has lost the confidence of America!"

Wray fielded questions at a House Judiciary Committee meeting on Wednesday (July 25) and said he was unsure whether Trump's ear wound was directly caused by a bullet.

“With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” he said.

Trump's right ear was grazed during the shooting and he was seen yelling "fight" to his supporters while being evacuated from the rally by Secret Service members. One spectator, identified as Corey Comperatore, 50, was killed during the incident while two others, David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington, and James Copenhaver, 74, were initially critically wounded but later upgraded to stable condition.

The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was killed by Secret Service agents immediately after opening fire. New bodycam video footage confirmed that Secret Service agents identified Crooks as a suspicious person before the assassination attempt but "lost sight of him."

Trump officially accepted the Republican presidential nomination during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on July 18.
