“There is some question about whether or not it was a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday.

FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during a marathon testimony on Wednesday that investigators still do not know if former President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet or a piece of shrapnel during his attempted assassination.

Twice during the hours-long session, Wray told lawmakers that the FBI was still working to determine what exactly struck the former president on his right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “My understanding is that either it [a bullet] or some shrapnel is what grazed his ear,” Wray told Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA).

    I saw reports right after the incident that a bullet hit Trump’s teleprompter and sent broken glass flying, a shard of of which hit Trump’s ear. No idea where this “info” came from if even now, the FBI says it doesn’t know. You’d think they’d have done enough forensics to find out by now, but whatever. Is there even a shattered teleprompter?
