The FBI is now saying Trump’s ear was indeed struck by a bullet on July 13 after a gunman opened fire on him during his Butler, Pennsylvania rally.

“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 FBI said in its statement.

“The FBI’s Shooting Reconstruction Team continues to examine evidence from the scene, including bullet fragments, and the investigation remains ongoing.”

President Trump responded.

“I assume that’s the best apology that we’ll get from Director Wray, but it is fully accepted!” Trump said on Truth Social.

On Thursday, FBI Director Christopher Wray floated the fake news media’s conspiracy theory that Trump’s ear may have been hit by shrapnel.

“There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel,” Wray said to Jim Jordan on Thursday.

The medical report from Butler Memorial Hospital stated Trump had a “bullet wound to the ear.”

Trump blasted Christopher Wray after he floated the shrapnel conspiracy theory.

Former White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson examined and treated President Trump’s ear wound.

Dr. Jackson said Trump’s ear was struck by a bullet.

It was not glass. It was not shrapnel.
