FBI confirms Trump struck by bullet following Wray testimony
The FBI has confirmed that former President Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet in an assassination attempt after the agency’s director, Christopher Wray, questioned what hit his ear earlier this week.
“What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,” the agency said in an emailed statement sent to The Hill Friday.
Trump faced an assassination attempt earlier this month in which he said that he was hit by a bullet in one of his ears. He was seen sporting a bandage in the wake of the shooting in multiple instances.
The former president insisted Thursday that it was a bullet that struck one of his ears following FBI Director Christopher Wray‘s testimony in front of Congress Wednesday, during which he said, “There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that, you know, hit his ear.”
“No, it was, unfortunately, a bullet that hit my ear, and hit it hard. There was no glass, there was no shrapnel,” Trump said on Truth Social. “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!”
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), a former White House physician who said he treated the former president following the incident, disputed Wray’s questioning of what hit Trump’s ear.
“During the Congressional Hearing two days ago, FBI Director Christopher Wray suggested that it could be a bullet, shrapnel, or glass,” Jackson said in a letter posted Friday to Truth Social.
“There is absolutely no evidence that it was anything other than a bullet. Congress should correct the record as confirmed by both the hospital and myself. Director Wray is wrong and inappropriate to suggest anything else,” he added.

Trump announces to crowd he ‘just took off the last bandage’ at faith event post-assassination attempt
Former President Donald Trump announced to a crowd Friday night he “just took off the last bandage” on his ear after his assassination attempt nearly two weeks prior.
The “Believer’s Summit,” hosted by Turning Point Action in West Palm Beach, focused on reaching voters of faith. Dr. Ben Carson, former HUD Secretary, preceded the former president.

“And we want to thank each and every one of the believers in this room for your prayers and your incredible support. I really did appreciate it,” said Trump.
“Something was working, that we know, something was working. So I thank you very much. And I stand before you tonight, thanks to the power of prayer and the grace of Almighty God,” he added.
The former President continued, “As I think you can see, I’ve recovered well. And in fact, I just took off the last bandage off of my ear.”
The crowd roared into applause as the former president gestured to his injured ear before clarifying, “I just got it off. I took it off for this group. I don’t know why I did that for this group, but that’s it. I think that’s it.”
Dr. Ronny Jackson, former White House doctor, released a letter earlier Friday offering an update on Donald Trump’s health after his assassination attempt on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania.
“I want to reassure the American people and the rest of the world, that President Trump is doing extremely well,” Jackson asserted.
“He is rapidly recovering from the gunshot wound to his right ear. I will continue to be available to assist President Trump and his personal physician in any way they see fit and will provide updates as necessary and with the permission of President Trump,” Jackson concluded.
The FBI confirmed on Friday to Fox News Digital, “What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle.”

Harris campaign claims she no longer supports fracking ban she touted in 2019: report
Vice President Kamala Harris no longer supports a fracking ban, in a change in her stance during the last presidential election, her campaign said on Friday, according to a report.
Before she dropped her bid for president in 2019 and joined President Biden’s ticket, she said in a CNN town hall “there’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.”
“And starting with what we can do on day one around public lands, right?” she continued. “And then there has to be legislation, but, yes, that’s something I’ve taken on in California. I have a history of working on this issue and to your point we have to just acknowledge that the residual impact of fracking is enormous in terms of the health and safety of communities.”
Harris also cosponsored the Green New Deal as a senator in 2019, a proposal to stem climate change that includes a ban on fracking.
TRUMP QUICKLY MOVES TO DEFINE HARRIS AS ‘MORE LEFT THAN BERNIE SANDERS’
“Climate change is real, and it poses an existential threat to us as human beings, and it is within our power to do something about it,” Harris said on the campaign trail that year before exiting the race, according to The New York Times. “I am supporting the Green New Deal.”
However, Biden’s campaign and his administration have not backed banning fracking despite Biden once saying during a primary debate “We would make sure it’s eliminated.” His campaign later clarified that he “supports eliminating subsidies for coal and gas and deploying carbon capture.”
Since Biden announced he is dropping out of the race and endorsed Harris last Sunday, she has moderated some of her positions from her 2019 run, in which she embraced more progressive policies.
Trump was quick to paint her as a “radical liberal” since she became the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Harris is the “most incompetent and far-left vice president in American history,” the former president told a rally crowd in Charlotte on Wednesday.
Trump charged that Harris “has been the ultra-liberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe. She is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country if she ever gets the chance to get into office.”
He added, “She wants no fracking. You’re going to be paying a lot of money. You’re going to be paying so much. You’re going to say ‘bring back Trump.’”
Telling The Hill that Harris no longer wants to ban fracking, her campaign pushed back on Trump’s rhetoric.
“Trump’s false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans to enrich oil and gas executives at the expense of the middle class,” the campaign told The Hill. “The Biden-Harris Administration passed the largest ever climate change legislation and under their leadership, America now has the highest ever domestic energy production,” the spokesperson said in an email. “This Administration created 300,000 energy jobs, while Trump lost nearly a million and his Project 2025 would undo the enormous progress we’ve made the past four years.”
In a statement to Fox News Digital, National Republican Congressional Committee spokesman Mike Marinella, said, “Kamala Harris is the most far-left progressive presidential nominee in history, and extreme Democrats in the Rust Belt now own every single policy she supports.”
He added, “A fracking ban would be disastrous for workers and families, and extreme Democrats’ mission to force Biden to step aside and replace him with San Francisco radical Kamala Harris shows exactly how out of touch they are with their voters.”
