Trump Criticizes FBI Over Assassination Attempt
News summary

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified that there is uncertainty whether former President Trump was hit by a bullet or shrapnel during the July 13 assassination attempt, leading to backlash from Trump and his supporters. Trump, backed by his former physician Rep. Ronny Jackson, insists he was struck by a bullet, citing medical records from Butler Memorial Hospital. Several analyses, including one by the New York Times, support the claim that Trump was hit by a bullet, not shrapnel, based on bullet trajectories and video footage. Congressional Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. Kevin Kiley, have called on Wray to correct his statements, arguing that they undermine the FBI's credibility. The incident has also been politicized by Trump, who used the opportunity to criticize the FBI and President Biden. The shooting resulted in one death and multiple injuries, with the assailant, Thomas Matthew Crooks, being neutralized by Secret Service agents.
