A New York Times investigation has provided a detailed analysis of the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. The analysis, which includes bullet trajectories, footage, photos, and audio, strongly suggests that Trump was grazed by the first of eight bullets fired by the gunman, Thomas Crooks. The absence of medical records or official accounts has stirred confusion, but the NYT analysis indicates that a bullet, not debris, caused Trump's wound on his right ear. The FBI is currently assessing what caused the wound, and the question has turned political. The analysis comes two weeks after the incident.
