Former US President and Republican candidate Donald Trump was actually shot in the deadly attack on him. This has now been confirmed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Friday. The FBI said that the bullet fired by the attacker in an attempt to kill Trump during his rally in Pennsylvania grazed his (Donald Trump’s) right ear.
According to a CNN report, the FBI said that in an attempt to assassinate Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on July 13, a sniper shot him with a rifle which missed his ear.
Earlier, FBI Director Christopher Ray had said that it was not clear whether Trump was shot or hit by shrapnel. There was speculation about whether Trump was really shot. Also, there was a discussion on social media whether he (Trump) was hit by a piece of glass or he was injured while falling down.
Trump hit back
At the same time, Donald Trump got angry with the FBI director’s comment and he hit back at Christopher Ray saying that no, unfortunately it was a bullet that hit my ear, it was not glass, it was not shrapnel. It is no surprise that once again the famous FBI has lost the trust of America.
